For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16 NKJV)
Love has become a common word in everyday life. "I love that dress...I love chocolate cake...I love my job..." Love is also a deeper emotion relating to how we feel about certain people in our lives. The love we have for family and friends is fierce and powerful.
True love is putting others before yourself. The greatest love of all is God's love. God proved that by sacrificing His only Son so that we can live and spend eternity with Him.
God's love is so much greater than we can ever comprehend in this life. It is truly amazing grace and unfailing love - that He would take our place on the Cross!
"God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, 'I love you.'"
- Billy Graham
