the core of Christianity
God is RELATIONAL – not just someone who likes relationships. That in part is why “God is love” is such a wonderful reality for those who know Him as Triune (1 John 4:8)
At the very core of who God is – is a pleasing and joyous relationship. It is not something that God simply likes – it is at the core of who God is. If the most powerful quality of God is relationship…than His seeking to draw us into an eternal relationship with Him (He knows how much pleasure relationships are) makes sense. And of all the forces which draw us to Him…love (unselfish concern) is the most potent.
God has always been actively loving. Each of us created in His image were created to be loved. A relational God who's very being is genuine love - naturally requires that there be someone who can be loved. Guess what. He loves You!

I liked how you explained the Trinity Last Week.
Still can't believe I'm the first to discuss it.
I really, really liked this week's sermon. I didn't even think that much about how much the parable reveals about heaven.
