The Bible teaches that God is love and His love is manifested through the sending of His Son, Jesus Christ, for our salvation (1 John 4:8-10).
The Bible clearly states that 'God is love' (1 John 4:8). This means that love is not just something that God does; it is intrinsic to His nature. The ultimate expression of God’s love is found in the sending of His Son, Jesus Christ, as a propitiation for our sins (1 John 4:10). This act demonstrates God's desire for a relationship with humanity and showcases His mercy and grace. The love of God is much deeper than human love; it is eternal, boundless, and sacrificial.
