It is an unconditional, sacrificial, and eternal love that is foundational to the Christian faith. God's love is not merely an emotion but an active force that seeks the well-being of His creation.<br><br><b>Biblical Foundation</b> <br>The Bible presents God's love as intrinsic to His nature. In 1 <a href="/john/4-8.htm">John 4:8</a>, it is stated, "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." This verse underscores that love is not just an attribute of God but is essential to His very being.<br><br><b>Manifestation in Creation</b> <br>God's love is evident from the very act of creation. In Genesis, God creates the world and humanity, declaring His creation "very good" (<a href="/genesis/1-31.htm">Genesis 1:31</a>). This act of creation is an expression of His love, as He provides a world filled with beauty and resources for humanity to enjoy and steward.<br><br><b>Covenantal Love</b> <br>Throughout the Old Testament, God's love is demonstrated through His covenants with His people. In <a href="/deuteronomy/7-9.htm">Deuteronomy 7:9</a>, it is written, "Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His covenant of loving devotion for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments." God's covenantal love is steadfast and enduring, despite the unfaithfulness of His people.<br><br><b>Redemptive Love in Christ</b> <br>The ultimate expression of God's love is found in the New Testament through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. <a href="/john/3-16.htm">John 3:16</a> declares, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." This sacrificial love is the cornerstone of Christian salvation, offering redemption and reconciliation with God.<br><br><b>Love as a Commandment</b> <br>God's love is not only something to be received but also a commandment to be followed. Jesus emphasized the importance of love in the greatest commandments: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" and "Love your neighbor as yourself" (<a href="/matthew/22-37.htm">Matthew 22:37-39</a>). These commandments encapsulate the essence of God's law and His desire for human relationships.<br><br><b>Love in the Life of Believers</b> <br>Believers are called to reflect God's love in their lives. In 1 <a href="/john/4-19.htm">John 4:19</a>, it is stated, "We love because He first loved us." This love is to be evident in actions, attitudes, and relationships, serving as a testimony to the transformative power of God's love. The Apostle Paul describes love as the greatest virtue, stating, "And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love" (<a href="/1_corinthians/13-13.htm">1 Corinthians 13:13</a>).<br><br><b>Eternal Love</b> <br>God's love is eternal and unchanging. <a href="/romans/8-38.htm">Romans 8:38-39</a> assures believers that nothing can separate them from the love of God in Christ Jesus. This eternal love provides comfort, security, and hope, affirming that God's love endures beyond the temporal circumstances of life.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b> <br>While a conclusion is not provided, the exploration of God's love reveals its profound depth and significance in the biblical narrative and the life of believers. God's love is a transformative force that calls for a response of love and obedience, shaping the believer's relationship with God and others.<a name="top" id="top"></a><div class="vheading2">Topical Bible Verses</div><span class="rtext"><a href="/john/3-16.htm">John 3:16</a></span><br>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.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/1_john/4-8.htm">1 John 4:8</a></span><br>He that loves not knows not God; for God is love.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/context/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22-23</a></span><br>But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/context/john/13-34.htm">John 13:34-35</a></span><br>A new commandment I give to you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/1_john/4-7.htm">1 John 4:7</a></span><br>Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loves is born of God, and knows God.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/john/13-34.htm">John 13:34</a></span><br>A new commandment I give to you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/hosea/9-15.htm">Hosea 9:15</a></span><br>All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes are rebels.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/miller/the_yoke/chapter_xv_the_gods_of.htm"><span class="l">The <b>Gods</b> of Egypt</span></a> <br><b>...</b> "My <b>love</b>!
