Jehovah Is the God of Love

 "God is Love." -1 JOHN 4:8, 16.

JEHOVAH'S  inspired written Word, the Bible, tells us that "God is love."  It says not merely that love is one of his many admirable qualities but that "God is love."  (1 John 4:8)  It is his dominant quality, his most important one. Jehovah does not just possess love-he is the personification of it. How wonderful it is to know that the Creator of the universe and of all living things is a God of love!  Everything he does is guided by that quality.

The warm, benevolent affection that God has for his creatures assures us that all his purposes for the human family will be fulfilled in the best possible way and will result in the greatest benefit to all who come under his rulership.  For example, out of love Jehovah "has set a day on which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed," Jesus Christ.  (Acts 17:31) We can be confident that this will come to pass. For rightly disposed  and obedient humans, favorably judgment will result  in a truly blessed future that will go on and on throughout all eternity.
