Love, the Heartbeat of Christianity

Book excerpt: Jesus is the radical revelation of God's love. His message though very simple is revolutionary. He simply reveals and reduces the claim of God to one word-Love! To live only at the level of rules and regulations is to miss the essence and the message of God. We each know how good and necessary it is to be loved and to love. However we are called to mature in love. Only as we mature and grow in love will we move beyond mere definitions or descriptions of love into the vital reality of the love that gives and sustains life. Love truly is the Heartbeat of the Christian life. This radical revolution of love is essential to the church, without it the church is just another organization, but with love (mature radical love) she truly becomes the living expression of God's love. Love, The Heartbeat of Christianity is about a journey of discovering and maturing in the Love of God. Enjoy the journey!
