We naturally default to viewing God through our own experiences and fears, often seeing him primarily him as a judge rather than a loving Father. Today, Dr. Michael Reeves turns to 1 John to show that God's defining nature is eternal, overflowing love. In Christ we see the boundlessly compassionate heart of the Father revealed towards us.
