If you were to tell any Christian that love is important to the Gospel, it would seem like an obvious statement. Popular verses such as John 3:16 would come to mind. Even though the connection between the Gospel and love is plain for all to see, just how intertwined they are is often obscure to most. This is commonly due to our adoption of the World's definition of love, rather than the Biblical definition. Throughout the pages of this book, you will discover the truth and depths of God's love toward us, and what that looks like for us. You will discover how God's love is both the crux of the Gospel, and the defining characteristic of our faith. You will better understand the Gospel of Faith through Love. This Christian book was written with the express intent to help believers and unbelievers alike better understand the Gospel. Regardless of whether you are new to the faith, a seasoned Christian or a theologian, there is just something about the love of God that is both universally understood, and yet misunderstood simultaneously. For many, talking about the love of God seems like a cliche topic, and yet when faced with being able to biblically define love, many stumble in their response. Most frequently, the way in which the World defines love will slip into their definition. Love is far more than just a reason for Christ's greatest act of compassion and mercy, but it was literally the center of His being. His purpose and mission were not only to save us through His greatest act of love, but His very life was the example of love for us to follow. It was the very command that He left us with: "to love others as I have loved you." - John 15:12. Christians often understand the importance of faith, but frequently miss just how intertwined faith and love are. Christ's life demonstrated not just the importance of faith and love, but how the two are reciprocal. Through the pages of this book of faith and love, believers will understand truths that they didn't realize they already knew. Why? Because it is truths the Holy Spirit has been speaking since the beginning. It's the message that was intertwined throughout the entirety of the Bible. It's that which Christ lived and taught. It's the message that every New Testament writer emphasized even when it wasn't the purpose of that particular writing. It's the part of the Gospel that every genuine believer already knows, but so frequently gets lost in the various doctrines and rituals that man has layered on the faith. It's the very thing that the spiritually blind and deaf could not understand because their hearts were hardened in their own pride. The selfless biblical love that Christ embodied, is our example. Some of the various topics covered in this book include: - A concise articulation of the Gospel - Defining biblical love through use of scripture. - The gospel and love's connection from the Old Testament to the New Testament - Examples of the ways love is manifested through humility, forgiveness and service. - Love's antithesis, a selfish and prideful heart - The receiving and work of the Holy Spirit - Understanding and defeating sin at the source - A deeper understanding of God's love and common misconceptions - A warning against Apostasy and understanding what that is
