The character of God’s love
When Moses first returned from Mount Sinai with the law of God written on two stone tablets, he was so horrified at the debauched behaviour he saw among his fellow Israelites, that he smashed the ‘law in stone’ and threw his hands up in despair before God. He asked the Lord to “come to him” as he recorded the Law the second time around, and God obliged. Our passage records God appearing to Moses and declaring His character: He loves, and yet condemns sin at the same time. This balance of abundant love and fierce justice defines God’s character. In fact, the passage tells us it is God’s very name.
Question: In what ways have you witnessed both God’s love and His justice in your own life?

About this Plan
“Love is love” has become a catchphrase of our times. But it does not have any meaning until we define what love is. The Christian starting point is to say that God is love. This series looks to understand the nature of God’s love. By the end of the series, I hope that the word ‘love’ has all the rich and flavoursome ingredients to it that Scripture has to offer.
