In certain seasons we can start to question God’s love for us. It’s human nature to doubt and question God, question His goodness, question His existence, question if His love is real. The good news is that in these seasons of self-doubt, worry, shame etc. we can turn to bible verses about God’s love for us. Here are some ways the bible describes God’s love:

• Pure.

15 Bible Verses About God’s Love For Us

Our compassionate and gracious God shows His love by sending His one and only son to die for you. 

Do you have children? If not for a second imagine that you do. Would you ever allow your child to die for someone else? Even further, would you allow your child to die for people who did not even care about this enormous sacrifice? God showed His love by sending His one and only son to die for you.

Jesus died for every unbeliever who was on the earth at that time and for every unbeliever who would live in the future. If you believe in Jesus and the sacrifice He made for you, you will have eternal life in heaven. John 3:16, NIV says, “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.” The Bible goes on to tell us that Jesus died not because of of how much we love God, but because of how much He loves us.

1 John 4:9-11, NIV says “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. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”

Furthermore Romans 5:8 says, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

God loves you in spite of your faults.

My dear friends you cannot possibly understand God’s love with the limitations of worldly comprehension. As humans we learn how love conditionally. We learn to withhold our love if we disapprove of another person’s actions, behaviors or if we feel they don’t love us.

But this is not how God loves. Regardless of how you behave or if you have ever loved God He still loves you. Think about this He loves you even after knowing everything about you; all of your faults and all your failures. His love for us is unconditional. Nothing that we do or not do will earn God’s love. God’s unconditional love for you is a gift.

Read the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32) to see God’s love in action. Your Father does not condemn you for your imperfections and shortcomings. Romans 8:1, NIV says, “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”

Jesus stepped off His heavenly throw to show His love.

Jesus loved us so much that He actually stepped off His throne to save us. Jesus stripped Himself of the royalty that was His as the Son of God. He came to earth as a mere human being to willingly die a horrible death as an atoning sacrifice. Jesus paid the price that we should pay, all because He loved us.

He was “crowned with glory and honor” because of the supreme sacrifice He made for you because He loves you with an incomprehensible love. Hebrews 2:9, NIV says, “But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.”

Ephesians 5:2, says, “just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.”

Our faithful God demonstrates His own love for you by the death of Jesus. 

Jesus did not die only for ‘good people.” Jesus, God’s one and only son, died for us all. He died not just for those in the past neither the present, but also for the future. Think about the people that you think are the worst, yep He died for them too!

Thank Jesus for His incomprehensible everlasting love for you. “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 person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6-8, NIV

Jesus Christ loves you just as much as His Father loves Him.  

Stop and think for a moment about how much our faithful God loves His Son. Jesus tells you that He loves you just as much as God loves Him. Think about that for just a moment. With all of our faults and failures, Jesus loves us!

Jesus wants you to be completely secure in your awareness of His supernatural love for you. Your awareness of His steadfast love is the greatest security you could possibly have. Jesus tells us to focus on His great love for you! In John 15:9, NIV, He says,  “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.”

Jesus told you exactly what you should do to abide in His love. 

When you abide in the love of Jesus, you remain in His love. Every aspect of your life is anchored on your certainty of His love for you. You abide by the Word of God by doing what God’s Word instructs you to do. You must obey your Father’s instructions to consistently study and meditate on His Word and then do what you are instructed to do.

Jesus was secure in His Father’s love throughout His earthly ministry. May you heart be filled with the joy of the Lord your God and abide by the love of Jesus. John 15:10-11, NIV, says ” If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.”

God’s love for you is bigger than any problem you will ever face. 

We will face difficult times during the last days before our mighty warrior, Jesus returns. The severity of these problems can be seen throughout the Book of Revelations. But no matter how difficult our problems are, God’s love for you is more than enough. Remember God lives in us, He has given us a most Holy faith that gives us power and authority over everything on earth.

Read the following bible verses demonstrating that we can live in absolute peace, no matter what obstacles we face. When we believe we are God’s children and live in His great love and compassion for us, we have power!

Matthew 17:20, NIV says, “He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

Your loving Father cares about you as you are called children of God!

Think about your kids. Think about all the insignificant things in their life, that you light up about, that you are so excited to learn about. 1 John 3:1, NIV says, “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

Some people believe that God is too busy to help them with little things in their lives. The reality is that God cares about the little things in your life, just as loving parents are very interested in every aspect of their children’s lives. We are called the beloved children of God and He cares about each and everything that is happening in your life!

Read Matthew 10:29-31, NIV “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”

Think about the fact that He cares about a sparrow, you can be certain that unfailing love for us is so much more than that of a sparrow. God’s steadfast love endures forever, for each and every one of us!

The love that Jesus has for you is beyond human understanding. 

The apostle Paul told the Ephesians that they should live in the awareness that Christ Jesus our Lord appeared on earth and died for us. We may never grasp magnitude of God’s covenant and steadfast love for us. But if we consistently meditate on bible verses about God’s love, we can start to be very secure in the bigness of Christ’s love for us.

The more you meditate on facts about God’s love for you, the more deeply rooted your faith in Jesus will be. “And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, 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.” (Ephesians 3:17-19,NIV)  

Nothing can separate you from the love of God

We cannot begin to comprehend the steadfast love of God. Realize that nothing can separate us from the unfailing love of Jesus. When Jesus died for us it was a victory over every problem we will ever face. We do not have to be afraid of anything if we really believe that nothing can “separate us from the love of Christ.”

Romans 8:35-39, NIV says, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Furthermore know that God abides in us through His helper, whom He sent to live in us called the Holy Spirit. John 14:26, NIV, “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.”

I pray you find freedom in knowing that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither death can separate us from the love of God.

Stay in God’s love by continually drawing closer to Him. 

The following verse instructs you to “keep yourself in God’s love” – to focus continually on your Father’s supernatural love for you. Have absolute faith that the Lord’s great love for you is more than sufficient to bring you safely through any problem you will ever face.

Dear friends meditate continually on bible verses about God’s love. To stay in God’s love, you must know Him. You must spend quality time with Him. You must talk to Him and listen to Him. You must recieve the Holy Spirit. Share your heart with God. Live in God’s love today, tomorrow, and forever in eternal life. Trust your loving Father completely.

Jude 21:21, NIV says,” keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.”

God’s love and compassion exceeds our comprehension.  

Compassion comes from a Latin word meaning “to suffer with.” The Lord your God knows exactly what you are going through. He has not forgotten you. He has tremendous compassion for you. He is with you every minute of every hour of every day of your life.

We see God compare His compassion far exceeds that of even a mother, whom we are told loves us more than life itself!

Isaiah 49:15, NIV Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!

Jesus releases His love and compassion to you daily. 

Lamentations 3:22-23, NIV Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Your Father wants you to trust completely in His great mercy, love, kindness, and compassion. God’s love and compassion for you never fail. God promises to give you fresh compassion every morning of your life.

Jesus sympathizes with what you are going through. 

Jesus Christ has risen from the dead. He is alive. Christ lives in your heart. No matter what you face, Jesus knows and has been through whatever you are facing. Sometimes can hear things like God is love and blow it off. The reality is that we watched God’s compassion at hand. Throughout His earthly ministry, Jesus shows what it’s like to live in the love of God.

How? Did you know that the Lord your God chose to use His humanity to receive the same power of God that is available to you. Not only this but he allowed Himself to be fully God and fully man, meaning He felt and experienced the emotions and the feelings just like we would.

The betrayal, the doubt, the shame, the embarrassment etc, the Lord your God went through!

At any moment He could have used His power to His taunters, “His enemies.” Instead God lavished compassion onto those that persecuted Him. We often think about how the Lord disciplines but let’s take a look at how our Father shows compassion:

+ Psalm 86:15 ESV, But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
+ Hebrews 4:15, ESV, For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
+ Luke 23:34, NIV Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

Our Lord shows compassion to all, live in this truth.

Conclusion

As believers We know and rely on the love God has for us. I pray that you live in the love that God has for you. Here are some final Verses To Meditate On:

+ 1 John 4:16, NIV And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
+ 2 Thessalonians 3:5, NIV May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.

And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
