The world offers a kind of love that depends on how useful, lovable, or successful we are. But that’s not the kind of love we see in scripture. In this Advent message, we talk about a love that isn’t fragile or temporary—a love that was promised from the very beginning, arrived in the person of Jesus, and is still meant to be received and lived out today. God’s love doesn’t react to our worthiness—it moves first. This is the heart of Christmas: not that we loved God, but that He loved us first. And His love doesn’t fail.
