The Greatest Love is a topical study that presents a fresh look at foundational instructions in the Scriptures regarding God’s love. Each chapter study is designed for all those who desire to know more of Christ. The author’s inspiring voice lends beautiful hues and a plentiful color palette filled with descriptions and applications of God’s greatest commandment. The learner will come to know how immeasurable the Father’s love is for His sons and daughters; a love greater than human words can describe.
Each segment of every lesson offers clear and simple teaching for those who desire to return to their first love and to truths too often forgotten. The study chapters are not adapted to any one religious persuasion. Instead, each lesson teaches the core truths of God’s abundant love and, with help from the Spirit of Christ, the learner will come to know the awesome dimensions of God’s love that can’t be contained by denominational paradigms.
Every chapter is followed up with questions that help apply the message and offer food for meditation on heaven’s kind of love. Even though our human intellect can’t fully grasp the vastness of God’s loving kindness, we press on to understand the precepts of the holy Scriptures. The lessons in this book will challenge the learner because this love can neither be earned nor deserved, and yet the Church and all of humankind benefit from it.
Like any topical study with such a goal, the lessons must begin by establishing the need for a contrite heart and forgiveness in Jesus Christ. Indeed, it is God’s loving kindness that leads, guides, and creates a clean heart. The teachings in this study book will lift the learner up from a world where hate, prejudice, injustice, cruelty, violence, power struggles, and tribalism try to rule the day.

Über den Autor
Cho Larson’s years of Christian service and lay ministry uniquely prepared him to present Biblical concepts using Bible study guides designed for small groups. Every chapter builds up and encourages God’s people to fulfill their calling in Christ (Ephesians 2:10). Cho’s instruction offers a refreshing perspective for a Christian life filled with grace and mercy. His faith-building Bible teachings became fixed in his heart during years of examining the Scriptures and leading home study groups. His passion for teaching is a result of seeing God’s Word change people’s lives for good.Cho has served in various positions of Christian leadership, including Christian Education, elder, deacon, home group leader, and Bible instructor. His experience made him aware of the struggles we face as we prepare to serve in our church and community. Cho is a first-hand witness of the need for loving ministries through spiritual gifts that serve to strengthen the Church.His writing began in earnest during years of attending Christian Writers Conferences. The quality instruction and encouragement of accomplished authors and freelance writers served as an invaluable impetus in his writing career. The four ‚Kingdom Series‘ books are the fruit of the good work God has accomplished in his life. Cho’s ‚Kalmus Series‘ study guides build on the tenets of his first four books to encourage modern-day Christians to break free from their limitations to accomplish the work of ministry and service in the power and strength of the Holy Spirit. The ‚Barnabas Series‘ focuses on being united with Christ, building and strengthening worship, and answering the call of the Great Commission. Cho and his family live in Northern Arizona’s Verde Valley.
