1. His love for you is so deep that in his mercy, while you were yet a sinner, God sent his only begotten Son to die for you.
  2. “So loved,” then isn’t about how much but instead simply how.
  3. Love is pointing to Jesus who said, “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13).
  4. Christ our Word, as with a two-edged sword, burst the devil's belly.
  5. As the writer to the Hebrews affirms, what makes the Christian gospel so much better is that we are no longer dealing with “types and shadows."
  6. God resolves his wrath through the unexpected giving of his Son.
  7. The king has arrived and has already begun his reign forever and ever.
  8. Who would ever want all these screamers and haters? It turns out that Christ does.
  9. For with God we look not for the order of nature, but rest our faith in the power of him who works.
  10. We don’t start with behavior and work toward Christ. We start with Christ and everything works out from there.
  11. Logos theology is a theology of presence without division. It is a way of unification, of which the incarnation is the greatest visible example.
  12. To say that whoever loves has been born of God is also to say that those who are born of God are recipients of love. They do not have God because they love but because they are loved.
