quote:
ORIGINAL: map4 1 John 3:1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called the children of God. 1 John 3:16 By this we know love because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1 John 4:9-11 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propriation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 1 John 4:19 We love Him because He first loved us. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Those are just some that specifically mention His love. But, as was already said, His love is shown throughout the whole Bible. Thanks for the scriptures! Theres another one. I found it a while ago. They kill us in cold blood because they hate you. We're sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one. None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I'm absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us. Romans 8:35 (The Message)
