Last week Tal asked us 2 questions about love.
What is the nature of Love and can man love with God?
We learned that love is God’s Nature and if we hope to have love it is God we must turn to.
Man cannot hope to love in it’s fullest sense without God.
Because, God is Love!
[let’s quickly look at God’s nature…]
I. God’s nature is love
John through Scripture confirms our title and thought...
1 Jn 4:8
His love is perfectly expressed within the Trinity

Many more scriptures confirm God’s nature as love.
See also Jn 5:20; Jn 10:17; Jn 14:23; Eph 1:6; Col 1:13
