John 3:16 says "for God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
He loves us so much that He gave up His one and only Son to come die on a cross, suffering a horrific death.To see how muchg Jesus loves us Check out "See His Love" by Kim Walker video
just think, how much Jesus, His Son loves us, that He would give up His place in heaven to come down and share His love with a condemned and dying world. God is perfect and therefore loves us perfectly.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 tells us what perfect love looks like.
"love is Patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails..."
WOW! that's how God loves us... Now, some of you maybe saying "yeah right...there's no such love as this"...because in this world filled with sin and our human nature we are not perfect and we have never experienced that kind of love from another human being but God is perfect and He is patient with us...I know, because I've made plenty of mistakes and tried to do things on my own and He waits so patiently for me to return to His open and loving arms, to just hold me as I cry out to Him repenting and turning from my sin. He is so kind in His actions toward His people even when He has to discipline us to get us to turn from our sins because He knows they only lead to our entrapment and hold us captive not being able to live a free life He has called us to.
The list goes on and on how He loves us but I will stop with the first two and come back to the rest of the list on how God loves us so perfectly. But I want to leave you with one of my favorite songs... go check out the video on youtube...
