The Gifts of Christmas: Love


“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3:16‬ (‭NIV)

This is the second part in the series The Gifts of Christmas. The second gift is the gift of love, or more directly, God’s love. God’s love is sacrificial and unconditional, but there are things we must do with the love of God.

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭15:13‬ (‭ESV‬‬)
