Does God love me?

In short

Yes. The heart of the Christian message is that God loves you, personally and completely, not because you have earned it but because it is who He is. He proved it by giving His own Son for you while you were still far off.

Whatever you have done, whatever has been done to you, you are not beyond God's love. He knows you fully and loves you still. The cross is the measure of that love: He would rather die than live without you.

You do not have to clean yourself up first. You only have to come.

What Scripture says

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Romans 5:8 (KJV)

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

John 3:16 (KJV)

Where to go from here

Still wondering? Ask Simon, a companion who points to Jesus, or bring it to God in prayer.

Real people, real encounters
