This Is Love (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780648643975)

Love lies at the core of who we are, why we were created and it is an intrinsic part of our nature as human beings. Love is also central to the mission of Christ; the purpose of the church; the foundation of human life; the essence of our true identity.
Sadly however, our contempory western culture has so corrupted and distorted the concept of love, that it is very difficult to speak about it from a spiritual perspective. In this book, Robert Griffith attempts to press the 'reset' button on love by exploring the foundational truth found in 1 John 4:10, "This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." This must always be our starting point.
There is good reason why the most quoted verse in the Bible is John 3:16 which begins with, "For God so loved the world ..." To discuss love in a Christian context, we should always begin with God, Who is love. It is God's love, lavished upon us in and through Christ, which must be the foundation and source of all true love in us.
