God's Love for His People

God's love for His people is completetly unlike anything else ini this world. God's love is completely unconditional, not tbased upon anything God foresaw in anyone. It is based upon His sovereign and wise will alone, and we did not deserve or earn it in any way.

Verses About God's Love

In 1 John 4:10, John writes thisi:
In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
That Jesus is the "propitiation for our sins means that He satisfied God's wrath against us when He died on the cross. Jesus suffered the hell that we deserved in our place, as our substitute. There is simply no greater love than thiiis anywhere in the world. And Psalm 51:11 says this:
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.
