Download Scripture About True Love

As we delve into the complexities of true love, it's essential to understand that our understanding of this concept is rooted in the attributes of God himself. Christian theologians describe these divine qualities as 'communicable attributes,' which are transmittable to us, his image-bearers, so that we may reflect the attributes of our Creator.

However, we must be cautious not to assume that God simply possesses more holy, good, and loving qualities than we do in each attribute. Rather, there is a fundamental difference between God's character and ours. The Creator's nature and ours are distinct, with a qualitative gap that cannot be bridged by mere quantity.

All the qualities and attributes that God gives us are analogous to his, but not identical. As the Creator fashioned us after his likeness, God imparts his qualities, including his moral attributes, but with creaturely limitations, which have been corrupted by sin.

In this two-part article, we will explore the nature of God's love and human love, examining how our understanding of these concepts is rooted in Scripture. By grasping the divine measure of true love, we can better comprehend its meaning and application in our own lives.
