Teach Your Children to Hate (6 of 12)

the character of God that God is a God of love. If you
never know anything else about God, you need to know
that God is love. "For God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten son (the Lord Jesus) that
whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have
everlasting life." The Bible says that God is love.
