He Loved Us First

What is love—really? According to Scripture, love isn’t something we initiate; it’s something we receive. In this sermon from 1 John 4:9–10, we’re reminded that while we were dead in sin, God acted in mercy by sending His Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. This message unpacks the depth of God’s love displayed at the cross, how justice and mercy meet in Jesus, and how resting in this truth forms a secure identity and produces genuine love for others.
