God is love.
Today, that biblical truth is often affirmed not as a doctrinal confession but as a deflection. It’s frequently deployed as a shield—a ready defense for those who want to avoid the clarity of God’s Word, particularly when it comes to the moral demands of His law and the order of His design. But God is not a prisoner of His love, nor is He prisoner to man’s expectations.
The truth is that God’s love does not restrict or limit Him in any way. It never conflicts with His other attributes and characteristics. His love is not somehow in opposition to His wrath or justice. It’s not superior to His holiness or righteousness. They all cooperate in perfect harmony.
In An Everlasting Love, John MacArthur helps you consider this definitive divine attribute in its biblical breadth and depth. Understanding God’s love is crucial to knowing who He is and how He interacts with His creation—and in particular, His elect. In this brief study, you’ll gain unique insight into how His love defines and directs His work as our Creator, Sustainer, and Savior.
