{"product_id":"2940014905220","title":"Comfort For Christians","description":"James Smith\u003cbr\u003e1802—1862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love.\" 1 John 4:16\u003cbr\u003eThe sweeter the truth — the more backward we often are to receive and believe it. Therefore it must be presented to us again and again. What is more pleasant than the fact that \"God is love!\"\u003cbr\u003eYet so quickly we doubt it, or forget it, or fail to realize it. Therefore the Gospel presents it to us again and again, and in almost every possible form. Twice within the scope of a few verses, John tells us that \"God is love!\" 1 John 4:8, 16.\u003cbr\u003eBelief in this portrayal of God lies at the root of our holiness, happiness, and peace. To the extent that we believe that \"God is love\" — we will . . .\u2028consecrate ourselves to His service, \u2028enjoy peace in our consciences, \u2028and be happy in His ways.\u003cbr\u003eGod loves us, and therefore He planned our salvation, sending His one and only Son to take away our sins by the sacrifice of Himself. He also sent His Holy Spirit to teach us our need of Christ and lead us to Him. And, finally, He has put His blessed Word in our hands so that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures, might have hope.","brand":"JSmith Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084070633712,"sku":"2940014905220","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014905220_p0.jpg?v=1763616930","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014905220","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
