How God reveals his love for you next on leading the way audio with Dr. Michael Yusuf.

But the scripture from cover to cover tells us that his love is based.

Not on you being a nice guy or a sweet lady.

Not on you being a good boy or a good girl.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

You missed the point.

But his love for us is based on our unworthiness.

His love is based on his sovereignty.

God chose to love you.

Welcome to Leading the Way, featuring pastor and the author of more than 50 books, Dr. Michael Yousaf.

For more than 35 years, God has used Dr. Youssef and leading the way ministry teams

to share the truth of God's word. Take a moment to visit l.tw.org. You can learn more, and you can join

Dr. Yousef in this powerful mission. That's ltw.org.

Today, a face-to-face look at the love of God. You cannot earn it or increase it,

but today as you listen, you'll come to better understand and appreciate it.

So join me in listening as Dr. Michael Youssef begins this

life-changing teaching. I think most people would like to think of God as a big teddy bear.

You just hug him when you feel like it, then you put him down and you move on with your life,

and then you kind of, if you feel like it, you go back and you give him another hug and makes you feel good and then you put him down and you move on with your life and then you kind of, if you feel like it,

you go back and you give him another hug and makes you feel good and then you move on and

so forth. I think any believer in Jesus Christ would have to affirm the following.

That God does not make us jump through hoops in order to receive his love.
