God's Love Cannot Be Separated from the Rest of His Nature
"I do not think that what the Bible says about the love of God can long survive at the forefront of our thinking if it is abstracted from the sovereignty of God, the holiness of God, the wrath of God, the providence of God, or the personhood of God--to mention only a few nonnegotiable elements of basic Christianity" (D. A. Carson, The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God, 11).

Strange as it may sound, it wasn't until I was in Bible college that the truth of God's love finally dawned on me. God's love doesn't depend on anything I do! My fellowship with Him is dependent on whether or not I am in sin, but His love never changes. When the Lord opened my heart to that truth, it freed me from a load of guilt that I cannot even put into words. Praise God for His love!
