How has God shown that He is a God of love?
God demonstrated His love by sending Christ to the cross and by pouring out His grace upon humanity. He has loved the human race ever since. Though many reject that grace and walk it underfoot, His love and grace remain evident until the day His judgment begins.
Les teaches that the statement 'God is a God of love' must be qualified. He explains that God was a God of love when He sent Christ to the cross, and He has loved the human race ever since, pouring out His grace upon humanity. But humanity has walked that grace underfoot. Les also points out that many people use God's love to argue He could not create an eternal hell or the lake of fire. Yet the context shows that once the midpoint day comes, His grace ends and He becomes a God of judgment, a God of wrath, not only Satan's wrath but God's wrath as well. So God's love is shown in Christ and in His outpoured grace, but that grace will not last forever.
