Share It !

“We love, because He first loved us.” I John 4:19
“Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” I John 4:11


There is an element of true love that requires the lover to identify himself with the welfare of the one he loves. This done, it is impossible to be happy when all is not well with the one who is loved.

God has, by the exercise of His goodness, declared His love for each of us.
“Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him. In love.” Eph. 1:4

The measure of God’s love is demonstrated by how much He gave.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son...” John 3:16

The wonderful, marvelous truth is that God has chosen to commit Himself to your ultimate salvation. "In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." Luke 15:10

And for the future - “Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy...” Jude 1:24

Why does God love you?
Because that is His very nature.
What does this mean? All of God’s perfections are exercised on your behalf.

Bottom line: You can’t make God love you any more than He does right now! Rejoice and thank God for His love, and go out share it with someone else.
