Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. II Timothy 2:15
1st Quarter 2025 - God's Love and Justice
The entire Bible testifies to the fact that God is love (1 John 4:8, 16)
Love is at the core of who God is, at the core of everything that we believe, and should be at the core of everything we do. And how we understand God’s love has massive implications for our faith and practice.
God’s love as depicted in Scripture is far superior to the ideas that pass for “love” in much of our world today. During this quarter, we will look more closely at some of the most prominent and beautiful aspects of God’s love, which are revealed in the Bible.
As we continue on, we will see how divine love and justice are inextricably connected, such that you cannot have one without the other.
The entire story of Scripture is about what God has done and is doing to restore love to every corner and crevice of the universe.
