Could there ever be too much kindness, too much forgiveness, too much love? When was the last time you heard someone say, "Love? I'm good. I really don't need any more."? God's love is infinite. God's love is matchless. God's love is perfect. Join Chip as he defines God's love and what it means.

Introduction - Three facts about love

Fact #1: It’s a universal need - Everyone is looking for love!

Fact #2: There’s a universal solution - God loves all people everywhere and longs to meet the deepest needs of every heart for love!

Fact #3: There’s a tragic disconnection - Even so, most people remain starved for love… for three primary reasons:

1. They don’t know God loves them.
2. They know of God’s love, but have not received it.
3. They have received God’s love, but don’t know how to experience it in daily life.

Love is giving another person what they need the most, when they deserve it the least, at great personal cost.

God reveals His love to us through:

• CREATION - He made you for Himself.
• PROVIDENCE - He shows His kindness to all.
• INCARNATION - He is proactively pursuing you.
• DISCIPLINES - He chastises us to protect us from self-destructive behavior.
• INDWELLING - He supernaturally pours His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit.
• JESUS – The Second Person of the Trinity demonstrated the nature of God’s love for us.

How must we respond to God’s love?

1. We must RECEIVE IT by faith in our hearts. -John 3:16, 1:12
2. We must BELIEVE IT by faith in our minds. -1 John 4:13-16, Romans 8:38-39
3. We must SHARE IT by faith through our choices and decisions. -1 John 3:18
