God’s love for each and every person is greater than we can really understand…
We are His creation, and He made us in His image… And we can be confident that He loves us because He tells us this many times within the scriptures…
His love for us is unconditional, and even if we make mistakes, He is always ready to forgive and welcome us back to Him…
Because God’s love for every person is so great, He also commands us to love one another. Christ himself told us to do this…
…and there are many parts of the Bible where He stresses that our God loves us, and we are supposed to love God back and love our friends, family, neighbors, and even our enemies.
It’s not always an easy thing to do… It takes work, and sometimes we slip up… So to help remind you of God’s love, here are 59 Bible verses about unconditional love…
