(Adapted from an outline in The Preacher's Goldmine.)
The most amazing fact in the Bible is that God loves us. Our text and a lot of others tell us that. I. It is a unique love. John 15:13: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." That is what Jesus did, and there is no greater love - it is unique. II. It is unusual love. Romans 3:23: "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 5:8: "But God commends His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." 1 John 4:10: "Herein is love, not that we loved God but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins." III. It is unconditional love. Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are you saved through grace; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God." We do not deserve it, nor can we earn it: Ephesians 2:9: "Not of works, lest any man should boast. IV. It is universal love. God loves all people and wants all to be saved through His Son. Don't leave this fact out: God loves you..............."
