| 0:00.0 | All right, everybody. Welcome. This is 20 questions with Pastor Mike. I'm here to try |
| 0:05.3 | to answer your questions as biblically as as I can as I'm capable of doing. And part |
| 0:10.3 | of this isn't so much knowing that I have the right answers. There's something those |
| 0:14.2 | of you who've been watching this series of this Q&A for a while know, which is that there's |
| 0:19.0 | something in the process of just working through a question biblically, where even if you |
| 0:24.5 | don't know everything, you don't get everything perfectly right, you're learning like a skill |
| 0:28.6 | set of being able to take a question and the bibl sort of being open to you as you process |
| 0:33.8 | that. So the first question we have today and it's coming in. There's my mouse from an |
| 0:40.6 | anonymous source and it says, Hi Pastor Mike, what does it mean that God is love rather |
| 0:45.2 | than just saying that he is loving or that he loves us? Now the Bible affirms all of these, |
| 0:50.3 | right? It says that God loves us, right? He loves the world. He's loving. That's part of |
| 0:53.9 | his his his character. But the Bible goes a step much further than this and says something |
| 0:59.5 | much more when it says God is love. To my knowledge, this is a uniquely Christian thing like |
| 1:03.5 | nobody was saying this at the time, right? There's no other religion than I know of at the |
| 1:07.8 | time. Nowadays, it's common in new age and some some sort of when you've Eastern mixed |
| 1:14.2 | with hippies where you get this like God is love stuff. But that I would consider to be |
| 1:20.0 | sort of a fluff version of what what is originally true in Christianity that God just is love. So |
| 1:26.2 | it's not just that he behaves in loving ways. He just is love. How is that bigger than God |
| 1:31.3 | being loving? One of the things I'll I'll say is that love permeates God's very nature. |
| 1:37.1 | So him being love elevates the idea of God acting loving from from him acting loving |
| 1:44.6 | to him being love. I mean, you can let me put it this way poetically speaking, you can feel the |
| 1:51.4 | weight of this idea that God is love. Like you can you can sense it. Oh, let me bring my light |
