The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God (Part 1)

In the book "The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God" (by D.A. Carson), we see 'five' different ways the Bible speaks of the love of God. They are:

1) The special love the Father has for the Son, and the Son has for the Father
2) God has a 'common' love
3) God loves everyone and desires that they all be saved
4) God has a special love for His chosen people
5) There is a love from God that comes only through obedience

When we read a verse or passage about the love of God, we need to make sure which kind of the love of God is being talked about. If we are mistaken about the kind of love of God in the verse or passage, or if we focus on only one kind of love, we can become unbalanced and confused.

Today we begin our video study on "The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God".
