| We Are Greatly Loved |
We can understand a mother's love for her children, the husband and wife's love for
each other and our love for our brothers and sisters in Christ. But, how can we
understand why God would love us as sinners and enemies against His? In this passage
we see some of the greatest blessings that could ever be given to anyone.
I. We Are Chosen (1:4)
II. We Are Predestined
III. We Are Accepted (1:6-8)
Conclusion
--We are secure in His Love (Romans 8:31-39)
