Summary: God the Father initiated His purpose of creating a community of people, His children, who would share in the life and love of the godhead.
• This same divine love is now available to His followers through the power of the Holy Spirit.
• Christians are to use this powerful agent of change to fulfil the new commandment Jesus gave to His disciples on that fateful night before His crucifixion to go out into the world and “Love one another. As I have loved you.” (John 13:34).
• As mentioned in an earlier session on the law, we have been given the resources of God through the indwelling Holy Spirit to move from the limited self-love generated by the human heart to the godly love that is generated by the heart of God.
Next time we will look at this powerful form of godly love in action when we look at the parable of the prodigal son.
