Finding God
Dwight L Moody gives fourteen sermons on the Way of Salvation, including such titles as “God Is Love” and “Seek the Lord.”
God Is Love
My text is taken from the 1st epistle of John, and it is one of those texts the world does not believe. If I could make every one in this building believe this text, I would not preach a sermon. If we all believed it, we would not need a sermon. “God is love.”
It is said in Jeremiah, 31st chapter and 3rd verse, ” I have loved thee with an everlasting love.” He loves us with an everlasting love; that means, love without end.
The Bible says God loves sinners. It teaches another thing: that God loves you in your sin. Some of you may shake your heads and say that is false. God loves you in your sin; because, if you could get rid of your sin, you would not need a Savior. If he does not love us until we are free from sin, there is no hope for any of us. To be sure, he saves us from sin; but while we were yet in sin, Christ loved us, and died for us.
