The Love Message "
Love is one of the key characteristic of God throughout the Bible:
Love for the whole world, Love was shown through the agency of the people of Israel. Love was shown through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Israel did not always appreciate what this should mean, and frequently corruted the notion of God's love with racist attitudes, some of which are clearly visible in the Old Testament. When that happened thr Prophets and others both condemned the people and called them back to an appreciation of God's true character.
In the New testament world, there were greek words for different kinds of love, family love, sexual love, and so on. The most important term used in the Bible, however, is the word Agape, which was potrayed above all in Jesus Christ, our Lord, especially His death. This kind of self-giving love was the most useful way to discribe God's love for the world and Christians were called to practise it too.
