Bible Question: Why does God love us? What is the scriptural answer to this? I know that John 3:16 (among several others) explans THAT God loves us. Why? I am trying to apply the Why3 method to the question "What did Jesus want?" My answer was "to save the world" from John 12:47 (among others) Why? #1 A: So that none would perish but have eternal life (paraphrase John 3:16) Why? #2 A: For God so loved the world... (John 3:16 again) Why? #3 This is where I get stuck. Why does God love the world? |
Bible Answer: Greetings "The Cynic", God created man (Genesis 1:27), and we are His creation. Immediately after He created man, He gave man His blessing (verse 28). And God saw that all He had made was very good! (verse 31) No one, not on this Forum or anywhere else, could be able to tell you the depths, or could accurately explain to you the extent of God's love for us, His own creation! The real answer to this question lies with God Himself; and as a doting "parent" would, He could tell us all just how and why He loves us! :-) Blessings to you, Makarios |
