Love

The Bible tells us that God is love. Love is essential to God's character. The Bible doesn't merely say that God chooses to be loving, it says that He "is" love!

Unless a person submits their understanding to God's revelation they will not properly understand this wonderful truth.

Many of the teachings in the Christian Scriptures are mysterious. This is not to say that they are contradictory! There is a vast difference between the two.

The teaching that God is eternally One, and yet in this One God there exists three Persons, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is one of the foundational doctrines of the Christian church.

If you deny this teaching then how could God be love? Before God created the universe what was the object of His love? The Bible shows us that love is a verb, it is something that is shown and given to another.

In the Godhead, the Father has had an eternal "love" relationship with the Son and the Holy Spirit, and vise versa.

God did not need man to become more "whole"!

God is perfect in all His ways and needs nothing!

But because God is love, He created us, and saved us from our sins [those who have trusted in Christ], not because He is going to benefit from this relation, BUT so that we will eternally benefit from it.

This is love!
