How are you doing, Friend?
God loves you. But what does this mean? God is love (1 John 4:16).
So, God has to love. He can’t not love. Does He love out of obligation?
Is His love involuntary?
We know God cares enough to die for us (John 3:16). He paid the price
to redeem us. He is patient with us. He did what He had to do to keep
us alive (spiritually).
To say love is a choice is to say that it is objective. You and I can
show love despite how we feel about another person. If we only loved
when we felt like it, our actions would only be motivated by how others
treat us. But here I am talking about human love which can be fickle.
