What is Love? God reveals His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). Indeed, God so loved the world that He gave His only son that whoever believes in Him should not die, but live with Him eternally (John 3:16). See what great love the …

Throughout scripture, we encounter Jehovah Rohi, the Lord Our Shepherd.
