In this first series of “Get Biblical Understanding” we’re reviewing many of the verses that have to do with love. There is no other biblical topic more important than this one. Therefore it is imperative that we “get understanding” of this tremendous attribute of God. 

It should come as no surprise then that loving God is set forth as the “first and great commandment” (Matthew:22:38This is the first and great commandment.
See All...). Hopefully these sessions addressing love will help us all put the emphasis on God’s love first in our lives as the Scripture commands.
