Thiessen writes, “Love is that perfection of the divine nature by which He is eternally moved to communicate Himself. Vine writes, “God's love expresses the deep and constant love and interest of a perfect Being towards entirely unworthy objects, producing and fostering a reverential love in them towards the Giver, and a practical love towards those who are partakers of the same, and a desire to help others to seek the Giver.”</FONT></div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B>God's love toward man. </B></FONT>The supreme act of God's love is revealed through Christ's death on the cross.
