True Love, Volume 1

God, JEHOVAH (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), is love and a fundamental pillar of the person and word of God is God's love. JEHOVAH sent his only begotten Son, Jesus, into the world because he loved mankind. In Genesis 3:15 we learn that God made provision for the redemption of fallen mankind through the Savior, Jesus Christ. Jesus the Messiah is God's provision for the reconciliation of mankind with God. Jesus has always existed with the Father and the Holy Spirit. By him (Jesus) all visible and invisible things were created and by him all things consist (Col 1:16-17). Hence, the ultimate demonstration and provision of God's love to mankind is God becoming a man and giving himself as the required sacrifice for the salvation of those who will confess with their mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in their heart that God has raised him from the dead. Jesus taught that the Great Commandment is to love God and the Second Commandment is to love one another. God first loved us, and we are to love God and mankind like Jesus loves us. It is fundamental for mankind to seek to know God, his love, and his ways.
