The Bible tells us that ‘God is love’, and that those who ‘live in love’ live in Him (1 John 4:16).

Jesus spoke of God loving you and I (John 16:27) in the same way that the father loved his sons in the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15. The father in the story showed love, mercy and grace to the one who strayed; and love, mercy and grace to the one who stayed.

This is a picture of God’s Heart towards you and I; for even when we think we are far away from God, His Father Heart is still full of love, mercy and grace towards us (Is 57:19 / Eph 2:17-18). God does not change (Mal 3:6).

When our hearts and minds are focussed on Him, we can enjoy His presence in the most precious way (Ps 16:11). You too are loved by Father God, who is not angry with you; rather He is filled with love and compassion towards you and I (Is 30:18).

We don’t have to earn His love, nor try to gain His acceptance and approval (John 16:27). For God had already given His Son to us (John 3:16-17) and He gladly shows what God is really like (John 1:18).

The Bible verses John 3:16-17 tell us that God loved the world so much, that He sent Jesus, His one and only Son, into the world so that it could be saved through Him. These verses also tell us that God did not send Jesus to condemn the world but to give the free gift of eternal life to all those who believed in Him.

Everyone, no matter who they are or whatever their background, that receives Jesus as their Saviour and Lord become children of God (John 1:12). This is great news! And that’s what Jesus came from Heaven to Earth to bring you and I: Good News!

When we know just how great the love of Jesus is for you and I, it has the power to drive away all fear (1 John 4:18) for the Bible tells us that when we are in Christ we will find no condemnation from God (Rom 8:1). Jesus demonstrated His great love when He paid the price for all sin for all time (Rom 5:8-10). His love is eternal, and His love is for you! (John 15:9).
