At the heart of God's nature is a profound and unwavering love for humanity. The Gospel of John reveals that God's love is so great that He gave His only Son, as seen in the well-known verse from John 3:16. The letters of John, particularly 1 John 4, emphasize that God is love itself, as stated in 1 John 4:8 and 1 John 4:16, and that our love for Him is a response to His prior love for us, as expressed in 1 John 4:19. Romans 5:8 also highlights the depth of God's love, demonstrating that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
