Why do we love? And where does our ability to love actually come from? In this message from 1 John 4:19–21, we discover that all love begins with God. His love is not merely an example for us to follow, it is the very foundation of reality and the source of every act of goodness. Because God first loved us, we are able to love Him and love others. This sermon explores how God’s preceding love shapes our purpose, transforms our hearts, and turns obedience from a burden into a delight. Learn why genuine love for God always expresses itself in love for people, and how living in the light of God’s love changes everything about the way we see the world and our place in it.
