    The Greatest Love

    Contributed by Michael Bates on Sep 15, 2023
     | 1,121 views

    Human love comes in many forms. Human love is also flawed because with it comes conditions and limitations. God's love though is divine, selfless, unconditional and flawless. There's no other love that even remotely comes close to the love that God has for us.

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the ...read more

If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength ...read more
