In the second episode of "Love Beyond Measure," Duane teaches the importance of knowing God's love for us and how the Holy Spirit primarily reveals this love. There are four foundational truths from 1 John 4:7-9 about God's love:
1. Love is of God, not of this world or our flesh (v. 7).
2. To love with God's love, one must be born of God and know God (v. 7).
3. God is love; it is His nature and character (v. 8).
4. God's love was manifested by sending His Son, Jesus, to be the propitiation (satisfactory sacrifice) for our sins (v. 9).
Duane shares his powerful testimony of having an open vision of the cross, where he saw himself in Christ, crucified with Him, buried, and raised to new life. This revelation of the cross showed him God's unconditional, unmerited love, satisfying God's righteous judgment against sin through Christ's sacrifice, and his faith exploded.
Not everyone has such a dramatic experience, but the Holy Spirit can reveal the same truth through the Word of God (Romans 5:8, 1 John 3:16). The cross is the primary way we know God's love, as He demonstrated His love by sending His Son to die for us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8).
