The prevailing issue today, both inside and outside the Church, is whether or not we learn how to receive the Father's love. The Apostle John says, "It's not that we first loved God, but that He first loved us..." (1 John 4:19). If the Apostle John was transformed from a "son of thunder" to "the apostle of love," you can be transformed into a lover of God and a lover of all He loves.
