Love The Law - Love Is The Key

After a quick review of last week, we delved into what the world is looking for and what we have to offer.  As of the date of this meeting, doing a book title search on Amazon yielded the following results:

  • Heaven - 47,476
  • Money - 123,411
  • Sex - 187,109
  • God - 283,483
  • Love - 434,564

Now, this is not conclusive, but, it is a peek at what people like to read - simple marketing: you sell what is being sought - supply and demand.

Our discussion covered the overarching Love of God from the very beginning - in the Garden.  God yearns to have relationship with His creation.  Though God "needs" nothing, He desires us.  Some would say that there is a different characteristic of God on display between the Old and New Testaments.  I propose that His characteristic isn't different because He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Heb 13:8).

I would further suggest that God desires us to be child-like in our approach to Him and we can view His Love towards His creation all the way from Genesis to Revelation - He hasn't changed, He never will!  More on this child-like approach next week!
