The Bible emphasizes that God's love is demonstrated through the sacrifice of Christ and our adoption as His children (1 John 3:1, John 3:16).
The Bible reveals God's profound love for humanity, especially for His elect. In 1 John 3:1, we are reminded of the wonder of God's love that allows us to be called 'the sons of God.' This relationship highlights not just affection but transformation—being adopted into God's family. Further, John 3:16 declares, 'For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son.' This verse exemplifies the greatest expression of love: the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ, who died for our sins, offering us salvation and eternal life. God's love is indeed the foundation of the Christian faith, showcasing His mercy and the grace bestowed upon those He has chosen.
