God’s Love Offers Forgiveness Before It’s Asked For!
Romans 5:6-8 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die…God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
God’s Love Is An Action Of His Will
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
1 John 4:9 This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him.
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.
God’s Love IN US Is The Objective Of Our Faith

God’s Love In Us Proves True Faith And Invites God’s Love For Us!
John 14:21 Whoever has My commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves Me. He who loves Me will be loved by My Father and I too will love him and show Myself to him.
God’s Kind Of Love Should Be Our Main Characteristic

John 13:35 By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.

God’s Love Grows and Prepares Us To Meet Him!
1 Thessalonians 3:12-13 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. May He strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all His holy ones.
Ephesians 3:16-21 I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the believers, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
And to know this love that surpasses knowledge–that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to Him Who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
