God » Leader » Love of
See what kind of love the Father has given us: We are called God's children and that is what we are! For this reason the world does not recognize us, because it did not recognize him, either.
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love for us even when we were dead because of our offenses, made us alive together with the Messiah (by grace you have been saved),
But God demonstrates his love for us by the fact that the Messiah died for us while we were still sinners.
The LORD appeared to Israel from far away and said, "I've loved you with an everlasting love, therefore I've drawn you with gracious love.
the LORD gives sight to the blind. The LORD lifts up those who are weighed down. The LORD loves the righteous.
because the Father himself loves you, and because you have loved me and believed that I came from God.
"For this is how God loved the world: He gave his unique Son so that everyone who believes in him would not be lost but have eternal life.
