Lesson 7: The God Who Loves

Jul 16, 2025    Pastor Robert Barrett

What does it mean that God is love? In this powerful session, we explore one of the most essential and beautiful truths about God's nature: He is love—not as a feeling, but as His very essence.


In this lesson, we go beyond sentimental definitions and dig into the biblical, covenantal, and redemptive reality of God's love. Through the Hebrew words chesed (steadfast love) and rachamim (compassion), and through the cross of Christ, we see a love that is holy, just, merciful, and life-transforming.


📖 What You’ll Learn:

- A biblical definition of God’s love rooted in His eternal character

- Why God's love always works in harmony with His holiness and justice

- How the cross is the ultimate revelation of divine love

- How Jesus embodied and extended God's love to the broken, the outcast, and the unworthy

- What it means to receive and reflect this love in your daily life


❤️ God’s love is not shallow. It is holy, just, compassionate, and covenantal—and it changes everything.
