In this message from One Church Blackburn, Linda Bailey explores 1 John 4:10 as part of our Advent series “This is Love”.

Linda unpacks how real love doesn’t begin with our effort toward God, but with God’s initiating love toward us — shown most clearly in Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins. If you’ve ever felt like you need to earn God’s love, this sermon is a freeing reminder of the gospel and an encouragement to receive God’s love and reflect it to others.
