Sufficient Love

John 13:1, 4:8

I: “God is Love.”
1. God is the source of all love.
2. Love prompted God to create man.
3. Love lay the plan of Salvation. John 3:16
4. The goodness of God is moved by love.
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above.” Sunshine and rain, Winter, Spring, and Fall, food, clothing and shelter come from God.
5. Chastisement is prompted by love. “Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth and scourgeth every Son whom he receiveth.”
Heb. 12:6

II: Sufficient Love.
1. “Greater love hath no man than this, that this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13
2. His love was divine: “As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you. Continue ye in my love.”
3. Endurable love: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution or famine, or nakedness, or peril or sword?” Rom. 8:25
4. Man cannot spurn a love such as this without paying the penalty or except it without receiving eternal life.
