God's love is measured by his mercy, compassion, forgiveness and righteousness. He wants all people to turn from evil and find peace. True love for God involves keeping

God created the Garden of Eden and all things within it as good. This included the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

Parable of the Prodigal Son - The Father's Love
Let me ask you this question, “what is true love?” Or let me rephrase the question: have you experienced true love?” Singles love to talk about this four-letter word but on a serious note – there is more to life than a relationship.

In Luke 15:11-32, we’ll find the parable called “the parable of the prodigal son.” But what is a parable? Based on Wiki – a parable is a succinct, didactic story, in prose or verse, which illustrates one or more instructive lessons or principles.

The gospel calls people to repentance and faith in Jesus for salvation, which is a free gift of God's grace, not by works.

God made the world and everything in it. God is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient - all-powerful, never far away, and knows everything.

Genesis chapter one
The document discusses key points from Genesis chapter 1:
- God created the heavens and the earth out of nothing through His spoken word. He created a mature universe.
- Initially, the earth was formless and void before God's creative work began, with darkness covering the deep waters.
- The Spirit of God hovered over the waters, preparing to energize creation and bring order from chaos.
The Nature of God
God's essential nature is summarized in 3 points:
1. God is a pure spiritual being who is invisible, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, eternal, and immutable.
2. God has individuality, personality, rationality demonstrated through His will, emotions like love and compassion, and expressions of anger.
3. God's moral attributes include love, holiness, mercy, righteousness, goodness, perfection, justice, faithfulness, truth, grace which work in harmony though also requiring satisfaction of justice through Christ's death.
Gods attributes sufficiency
The document discusses several attributes of God, including that:
1) God is self-sufficient and does not depend on anything outside of himself. He created the world out of his own pleasure and independence, not out of necessity.
2) As the creator, God is responsible for and reveals himself through his creation, yet he is also independent of his creation and needs nothing from it.
3) In contrast, humanity and creation are completely dependent on God for their existence, purpose, and functioning. People cannot escape God's authority as their creator and reference point.

Can God Relate to Me - Part 2
God relates to humans by becoming human in the form of Jesus Christ. As God, Jesus is eternal, omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. However, to relate to humanity, Jesus had to become human and experience temptation. As a human, Jesus was tempted in all the same ways as humans - by lust of the flesh, eyes, and pride of life. But Jesus resisted all temptation without sin. Now, as our high priest, Jesus can sympathize with human weaknesses and temptation because He experienced it Himself.

The conclusion reiterates that Jesus came to seek people and they must respond to who he is.
