God’s love
The Love of God is frequently mentioned in the Bible through stories and proverbs as divine, true, and everlasting. In fact, the Bible says that God is love! God loves everyone. God’s love is so great that He gave His only Son to die for our sins and be resurrected. This bold fact alone is important evidence of God’s love for his children.
