God Loves Us

"Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so."  The Bible, as God's revelation to man, indeed tells us that God loves us.  The boldest demonstration of that love was the sacrifice of Jesus upon the cross.  "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."  Romans 5:8.  Long before Christ came, God had told man of the coming Savior.  God raised up the prophets to announce the arrival of Jesus.  And those prophets told of His death upon the cross thus displaying God's love for us.  Jesus left the glory of that eternal land and came to earth.  He, the Son of God, told upon Himself human form.  Jesus knew rejection, humiliation, and finally, death.  Written upon the cross were the words of God, "I love you."  That declaration of love was scrolled in the blood of God's only begotten Son.  "In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him."  I John 4:9.
