Yes – Of Course God Loves You
The answer to that question is a resounding ‘Yes;’ A ‘Shout It From The Rooftops Yes!’
God Will Always Love Us!
God’s Love for us is continuous and unending. He never gives up on us. Although we turn our backs on Him, disobey His Law and sin as though we are not accountable to God, He will not sever our relationship. He is always ready to forgive us our sins and welcome us back. Look at the Old Testament; it is our story of rebellion against God, He was disappointed and grieved when we sinned, but He has always welcomed us back; when we came to our senses and returned to Him. Just like the story of the prodigal son, God will welcome us home. The single greatest act of love the earth has ever witnessed occurred when God sent His Son, Jesus Christ to die on the Cross, paying our penalty for sin, so that we could have the opportunity to live with Him, in Heaven, for all eternity.

The Love of God appears throughout the Bible. The New Testament was written primarily in Greek, the most popular language of the First Century. The English word ‘love’ can be translated into three different Greek words: ‘eros,’ from which we get the word ‘erotic’ and is used to convey sexual love or attraction; this word is not found in the Bible. Second is the word ‘phileo’ and refers to tender affection, toward a friend or family member and is commonly used in Holy Scripture. This is the word for which the City of Philadelphia (the city of brotherly love) is named. The third Greek word is ‘agapao’ or ‘agape’ and is used to denote special, unconditional love, especially of God, as used in the New Testament. Agape love is the way God loves us, each and every one of us; it is unconditional love that is a reflection of the one who is loving, in our context, God, and is not conditioned upon the response of the one being loved. Agape love has nothing to do with whether or not the ‘one being loved’ is deserving! Only God is deserving of our love. This is the love we are commanded to exhibit towards God and our neighbors.
All Of Scripture Is About God’s Love!
The Apostle John wrote: “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 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. No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. (1 John 4:7-12)
The Most Important Question!
So, that brings us to a second question: Do You Love God?
“If you love Me, keep My commandments.” (John 14:15).
