What Is God’s Love for His People Like?
More than They Could Ever Deserve...
All people have rebelled against God and broken His good laws. They want to do things their own way, not God’s. Their hearts should be full of love for God, but instead, they are dead and empty of love for Him and His good ways. All people deserve God’s forever punishment, but God is so kind! Even while His people’s hearts were so dead and empty of love for Him and His good ways, God still loved them. And He didn’t just love them a little bit. He loved them a lot! He loved them so much that He sent Jesus to take their forever punishment on the cross, so they could become His special people. We can be God’s special people, too, if we will say sorry to God for our sins and trust Jesus as our Savior. Isn’t God wonderful?
Scripture Verses: John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.”
1 John 4:10
“This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.”
Tie-in: There is no one God loves more than His Son, Jesus! But look what God did! He gave His dear, dear Son to save His people from His forever punishment! He wanted them to have eternal life. That is, life that goes on forever and ever. Always getting to know and enjoy God more and more. God’s love for His people is so much more than they deserve, isn’t it?
