Advent // The Love of God
John 3:16 (NIV)
“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
For God so loved you, He gave His one and only Son.
1. To remove your wrong views about Him.

compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and
sin.”

“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being,
sustaining all things by His powerful word.”
2. To show you what His love is really like.

“This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the
world that we might live through Him. This is love…. that He loved us and sent His Son as
