The idea of love has been so distorted today that not only is it often overly romanticized and sentimentalized, but it has also been perverted to condone and justify sin.

And when it comes to theology, as you just heard from R.C.

Sproul, many use the love of God to try and eclipse his other attributes.

So this week on Renewing Your Mind, we'll be taking the time to consider the love of God from a biblical perspective.

And as this is a new week, we have a new resource offer for you as well.

Build your Bible study library when you request Dr. Sproul's complete 11-part series on the love of God when you give a donation at renewingyourmind.org.

We'll send you the DVD and give you lifetime digital access to the messages and the study guide.

Well, when you think of the love of God, what Bible verses come to mind?

John 3, 16?

What about 1 John 4, 8, where we're told God is love?

As this is a text that is foundational and is often misunderstood, that's where we'll begin this week's study.

Here's Dr. Sproul.

That was R.C.

Sproul on this Monday edition of Renewing Your Mind, helping us to see the biblical definition of God's love.

As Dr. Sproul mentioned, he'll consider the eternal love of God tomorrow, but this week he'll also look at God's loving kindness, his electing love, and agape love.

But if you'd like to take the time to work through the entire 11-message series, request your copy at renewingyourmind.org or when you call us at 800-435-4343.

Simply give a donation in support of Renewing Your Mind and the DVD will be yours, along with lifetime digital access to the messages and study guide.

The world's thinking on love has had an impact on the evangelical church.

So a detailed and thoughtful biblical study of God's love is needed for many of us.

And today's your opportunity to reflect more deeply on this topic.
