John 3:16—For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Jesus Loves You So Much; He Gave His Life To Redeem You From The Gutters Of Sin!
What is love? Love is not the same as emotion. Love begins with an act of your will. But young people come into my office for counseling before marriage and they’ll say things like, “I’m so in love. When I see him, I can’t catch my breath and my face turns red.” “That’s not love, that’s asthma,” I tell them.
Why do we confuse emotion with love? Hollywood helped sell us that idea. It’s even worse when Hollywood tries to talk about God’s love. “Somebody up there likes me,” you’ll hear them say in the movies. Let’s get something straight. Nobody up there likes you. No one in heaven—not God the Father, not Jesus Christ, not the Holy Spirit—nobody in heaven likes you. You like your car. You like your dog. You like your golf clubs. But God doesn’t like you—He loves you.
God does not love you because you deserve it. He does not love you because you’ve earned it. God loves you because God is love. Love is His nature and He cannot restrain himself from loving you.
It is the very nature of God to love the unlovable. He loved you when you were unlovable. When you were covered with the stench of sin His heart was broken for you. In your despicable condition God loved you so much that he sent His only Son to die for your. Even if no one on the face of this earth loves you, rejoice and be glad because God loves you.
