An invitation to live as God’s love
The Bible is a love story. God’s love drives the plot—a love revealed in stories and laws, in poems and prayers, in prophecies about God’s embrace of all life. The Bible testifies to God’s desire for us, to be near us—closer to us than we are to ourselves, as Augustine of Hippo put it. This drama includes us as we become living words, Christ’s love for the world written with our lives.
