What if the foundation of all theology isn't what we do for God, but what He has already done for us? In today’s episode, Graham Cooke explores how God's nature shapes our understanding of relationship with Him—from Old Testament visitation to New Testament habitation. Join us as we discover how every relationship with God starts with His gift to us, and how that changes everything.
Key Scriptures:
+ John 3:16. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
+ Hebrews 13:5. He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
+ Jeremiah 31:3. The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: "Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.”
+ Romans 8:38-39. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life... shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
