8 Bible Verses About God's love (KJV)

The whole Bible is, at its heart, the story of God's love. Here is what Scripture says about how deeply and unshakably God loves you.

What the Bible says about God's love

“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
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8
“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life... shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:38-39
“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God.”
1 John 3:1
“The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love.”
Jeremiah 31:3
“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.”
1 John 4:9

Love was made visible when the Father sent the Son so that we could truly live.

“We love him, because he first loved us.”
1 John 4:19

Our love is always a response; God's love came first and awakens ours.

“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,”
Romans 8:38

Paul names every possible threat only to say none of them can cut us off from God's love.

God's love is not earned and cannot be lost by those in Christ. It was proven at the cross and it lasts forever.

How these verses point to Christ

The love of God is not an idea; it has a name and a cross. "Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins" (1 John 4:10). Jesus called it the greatest love: to lay down his life for his friends (John 15:13). The blood of Christ is where God's love and justice meet, and there we know we are truly loved.
