God is love. It is not something He learned or a quality He only sometimes expresses. Love is who He is. The reason we have faith and are able to love God is because He loved us first. Faith and love are fruits of God having saved us. It is why we can love our enemies and pray for those who do wrong to us. It is a picture of how God loved us while we were sinners. It shows that we are being conformed into the image of God.
If God is love, He must deal justly with sin. He can’t ignore wrongdoing, that would not be loving or right. This is one of the amazing things about Jesus coming to earth to take on the punishment that belonged to us. By sacrificing His Son, God showed His love and His justice at the same time.
Lord, Your love is amazing and incomprehensible. Help me to recognize how much you love me, and help me to love You with my whole heart, mind, and soul. Amen.

About this Plan
The Apostle John had one clear message in his letters: Love one another. In the letters of 1, 2, and 3 John, the beloved disciple encouraged followers of Christ to love God by following His commands, and to love and honor fellow believers. John’s message is incredibly relevant to us today, offering insight to us as we seek to live like Jesus lived and love like Jesus loved.
