Everything in this life has a
beginning, and so does the Bible: Genesis is the book of beginnings. In the
first eleven chapters we discover the beginning of the universe, the earth,
human life, sin, death, and redemption. But most important, we discover the
beginning of God’s love affair with humanity. The apostle John tells us, “God
is love” (1 John 4:8). Not simply that God has love, or
that God performs acts of love, although these are both true. There is
something more basic and fundamental that we must understand about God’s nature
and character: God is love. God is the source and standard of love, and
everything God does is motivated by love. He cannot act in any way that is not
loving.
