You Are Loved

Yes indeed, you are loved by God the Father and His Son the Lord Jesus Christ. Here are seven confirmations of that love from the New Testament. They are just a few of the many times we have that great love stated and confirmed.

1. “God is Love” (1 John 4:8).

2. “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” (1 John 4:9).

3. “Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it” (Ephesians 5:25).

4. “I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20).

5. “Having loved His own which were in the world, He loved them unto the end” (John 13:1).

6. “I have loved you” (John 13:34).

7. “Greater love hath no man than this” (John 15:13).

Many may tell us today that they love us, but there is one unchanging, abiding love that outshines them all. It is that divine love that we will enjoy for all eternity.

Let us be like the bride in Song of Solomon who said, “We will remember Thy love” (Song of Solomon 1:4).
