SEE THE DIFFERENCE: SOMETIMES WE GET IT RIGHT
What is the proof that God loves you? Isn’t the proof that He sent Jesus to die in your place? God’s love is shown through action. We aren’t supposed to be a static collector of this love, but an active sharer. 1 John 3:13-22 helps us see that receiving love helps us to share love.
