Description
God’s love for us is evident in Scripture from the creation of the first humans to God’s constant interactions with individuals and groups of people in their historical circumstances and developments. A survey of select Old and New Testament Scriptures reveals dynamic and encouraging aspects of God’s constant love for humankind.
UNIT 1 • GOD’S ETERNAL, PRESERVING, RENEWING LOVE: The four lessons from 1 John, Ephesians, the Gospel of John, and Joel depict God’s love for humans as primary and unending. The lessons show that God’s love overflows, redeems, unites, and renews.
UNIT 2 • GOD’S CARING, SAVING, AND UPHOLDING LOVE: The five lessons drawn from Psalms, John, and Romans reveal God as protector, preserver, healer, comforter, and Savior of the people.
UNIT 3 • GOD’S PERVASIVE AND SUSTAINING LOVE: The four lessons in this unit are drawn from the book of Jonah, and they highlight God’s unconditional love for humans and the natural world, as well as God’s continuing care and concern for individual and group relationships and developments.
