Charles Finney emphasizes the profound truth that 'God is love,' explaining that this means God is fundamentally benevolent and devoted to the highest good of all beings. He outlines the implications of this truth, asserting that God's actions are always aligned with His benevolent nature, and He never acts contrary to the ultimate good of creation. Finney argues that God's love is not merely an emotion but a constant, unchanging disposition that governs all His actions, ensuring that He does everything possible to promote the happiness and well-being of His creatures. He also addresses the existence of evil and suffering, explaining that they are incidental to God's benevolent plan, which ultimately results in greater good than harm. The sermon concludes with a call to recognize God's love in all circumstances and to trust in His benevolent intentions.
