He First Loved Us consists of twelve lessons that reveal God's love for us. The titled is taken from 1 John 4:19, "We love because he first loved us." We first have to give love to receive a response of love, and that is exactly what God did by sacrificing his son, Christ Jesus, for our sins. When we open our hearts to receive Christ as our Savior, his love will change us forever. His love brings us peace, joy, helps us in all our relationships, and brings us eternal life.
Satan's goal is to keep everyone away from God, and he does this by filling our minds with lies about God and lies about the Christian life. He puts fear in our hearts so we tend to hide from the Lord just as Adam and Eve did after disobeying God, Genesis 3:9-10). This book was written to reveal the truth about God and his perfect love for us. As you read and study each lesson, open your mind for understanding and your heart for the truth. The Bible says this about Satan, "When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies," (John 8:44). And the Bible says, "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free," (John 8:32).
Let God's love set you free from fear, anxiety, worry, and all those negative emotions, for the word says, "Perfect love cast out fear," (1 John 4:18). Christ said "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full," (John 10:10). Fill your heart with God's love and live life to the full.
