20 scriptures to show us God's love

Today I wanted to share some scriptures that show us the love that our God has for us. Sometimes the enemy attacks our minds and tells us that God doesn't care, that He has better things to deal with and that we can't go to Him. I hope these will refresh your memory and encourage your spirit. The love that God has poured out upon us is so very rich, nothing can compare!




John 3:15-16 “That whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 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.” (What love is this that God would give His son for a sinful people? Wow, God loves us so much!)

Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (This show us that God didn't wait for us to become "perfect" to save us.)
 
Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Romans 8:1 “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.”

2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” (He not only saves us from the destruction of sin and eternity in hell, He transforms us into a new creation!)

Philippians 1:6 “Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ." (He is faithful to continue working on us until Jesus returns, He didn't stop at salvation, salvation is just the beginning!) 

John 6:37 “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.” (No matter what you have done, Jesus will accept you and forgive you! Thank God!)

Psalm 8:4-7 “What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, All sheep and oxen— Even the beasts of the field.” (We have become sons and daughters of God, He hears us when we pray to Him.)

Romans 8:37-39 “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (With Him in our life's nothing is impossible! Nothing can separate us from God's perfect love!)

Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”

John 15:13 “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”
(There is NO greater love than the love God has shown us!)

2 Corinthians 8:9 “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.” (He took our sin upon Himself and went to the cross and died in our place, so that we can be free!)

Galatians 3:26 “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.”
(He adopted us into His family!)

Ephesians 3:14-20 “For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”

Philippians 4:6-7 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
(He gives us perfect peace.)

Philippians 4:19 “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (He is our provider, He takes care of His children.)

James 1:5 “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”

Jeremiah 29:11-13 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” (He isn't too far away, if we seek Him we will find Him!)

2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”
(His desire is for every single person to be right with Him.) 

1 John 4:10-11“In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”

Claim these scriptures, keep them close to your heart! God's love for us is almost unbelievable. He knows us better than we know ourselves and He still loves us, despite our short comings and sin nature. His plan is for us to be blessed and show others His love!
