Although many people anxiously seek to know what God wishes of them, they are intimidated by the size of the Bible—sixty-six books—as well as language that to some is difficult to understand. To the seeking Christian, however, whose heart is open to the message of an all-loving God, there is no reason for this. With just a little bit of guidance, the will of God is transparent to everyone who seeks it.
When we look closely into the Bible, we find that God has clearly stated what He expects of His children: To love Him with all our hearts and to love one another as we love ourselves. In practical terms, for joy and peace in this lifetime and eternal bliss in eternity, that’s all it takes. And far from being an esoteric or complicated message buried in the many books of the Old and New Testaments, that truth is proclaimed in some of the Holy Scriptures’ most familiar verses. That includes, for example, the ultimate expression of God’s love, as found in John 3: 16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
In The Essences of Love, author Lola Stradford Richey refines 20 years of reading and studying the Holy Bible to answer the question of What Does God Desire of Us? Stripped of all the wonderful stories and sometimes difficult language, she reveals that the teachings of the Holy Bible center around a few simple rules that are all bottom lined with love. If you can love God and love your neighbor, you have the entire Holy Bible mastered.
The Essences of Love gets to the heart of the Gospel message of Jesus Christ.
