In a culture with misconceptions and vague definitions about what love is, the topic of love is laid out in Scripture and is foundational to all who trust in Jesus. Jesus even said it Himself that the most important commands are to love God and to love people. Undeniably, God has an overwhelming passion for people. It shows through in all of Scripture. Starting in the garden of Eden when humanity first sinned, God promised one who would come to crush the head of the serpent that deceived them. From stories such as the crucifixion which is the ultimate passion narrative. To the life and teachings of Jesus, as He never looked past the individual. He stopped and looked towards the hurting and broken people. This passion is love. It was the aim of His ministry. God has a relentless love for everyone. He pursues us and it transforms our very character. How does this shape the way we view others or does it at all?
