John 3:16-17
God LOVES Mankind
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. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
1 John 4:8
God is LOVE
8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
1 Peter 4:8
Love Covers a Multitude of Sins
8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
When we sin we get separated from God...But Jesus came for us to help us with our sins, and He wound up on the cross dying for us and our sins...The Disciples Peter said, "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins."...So the more love in our lives the better and a lack of love in our lives is not a good thing...
Peter Kreeft says this about love, "We sinned for no reason but an incomprehensible lack of love, and He saved us for no reason but an incomprehensible excess of love."...
