In this episode, we explore the profound ways God demonstrates His love for us, beyond the everyday gestures of kindness we often notice. While social media is filled with stories of grace—like a child giving a stranger a hug or the beauty of nature—these are just glimpses of God's common grace. The Bible tells us that God's love is ultimately and most powerfully shown through one specific way: the sending of His Son, Jesus Christ. We dive deep into the Scriptures to uncover the truth that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. This is the true manifestation of God's love, and it's the foundation of our reconciliation with Him. Without understanding this, we risk missing the full scope of God's love.
