God’s Love for Each of Us
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 John 4:10 KJV)
God’s love is seen in action in the Gospels, in the way that Jesus lived: from healing the blind to raising the dead, from caring about children to washing dirty feet, from feeding the multitudes to teaching His followers, and finally, from dying on the cross for our sins to rising from the dead to give us hope that one day we will do the same.

It permeated the afterlife. It was incredible.”“I was loved unconditionally despite my faults and fears.”“No human can ever love with the love I felt in that light.
These firsthand accounts tell us a lot about God’s love for each of us and how big it is! May we do our part to share His truth and love with others so they can know and experience it for themselves.[1]
Saving us is the greatest and most concrete demonstration of God’s love, the definitive display of His grace throughout time and eternity. - David Jeremiah
