In his book, <a href=\"https:\/\/lifesourcebookshop.co.uk\/product\/love-fights-back\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Love Fights Back<\/a>, Johnson provides a wonderful invitation to discover that the Three Angles&#8217; Message is, at its core, a love story which is often misunderstood.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Patrick-Jonson-workbook-chapter-1-FINAL.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-14131 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-28-212x300.jpg\" alt=\"Love Fights Back - Study Guide 1\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-28-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-28-350x496.jpg 350w, https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-28.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/><\/a>As we begin to study the Three Angles&#8217; Message as a global Church, Johnson wisely invites us to consider \u00a0some thought-provoking questions that can help us unveil biases and unlearn misconceptions:\u00a0&#8216;\u2018What is God really like?\u2019 Do the three angels\u2019 messages of Revelation 14 show Him to be an angry, vengeful God, a God to be scared of? Or do they rather portray a God we can run to, a God who longs to protect us and save us . . . a God we can trust?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>To say that these are crucial questions, with eternal ramifications for our lives, is no exaggeration.
