Introductory Post

God loves us, beacuse we are his children and he is the father. His love is unconditional love like a parent to his child. Which means no matter what happens, God will still have love for that person.


John 3:16. For God so loved the would that he gave his onley begotten Son that whosoever belives in him shall not perish but have everlating Life. In that verse God loves us so much he gave his son to die for our sins

We are taught that love one another, for our love comes from God himself. If you have love then you know God and them who don’t have love doesn’t know God. Even though we have never seen God with our eyes, in our hearts we will see him by loving one another. Our love should be whole for the love he has for us is whole. In 1 Corinthians 13, Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. This is true when God created heavens and earth.

Another great verse about God's love is found in Romans 5:8"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." In this verse and in John 3:16we find no conditions placed on God's love for us. God doesn't say, "as soon as you clean up your act, I'll love you; " nor does He say, "I'll sacrifice my Son if you promise to love Me." In fact, in Romans 5:8we find just the opposite. God wants us to know that His love is unconditional, so He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us while we were still unlovable sinners. We didn't have to get clean, and we didn't have to make any promises to God before we could experience His love. His love for us has always existed, and because of that, He did all the giving and sacrificing long before we were even aware that we needed His love.

God says love is unconditional and sacrificial, and it's not based on feelings; therefore, love is not an "intense affection… based on familial or personal ties". To understand what true love is and to be able to truly love others, we must know God, and we can do this through a close personal relationship with Him. We can have that close relationship with God by putting our faith in Jesus Christ, who was God's sacrifice of love for us.
