“In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” I’ll need to look at the word “propitiation” in a future episode. But for now, the key truth is that God decided to take this eternal quality that he possesses love - and direct that love it toward his children. If you are the child of God, you are the everlasting recipient of God’s love.
