Why is it important to understand God's love?

The love of God, as manifested in the sacrifice of His Son, is crucial for understanding our identity as children of God. 1 John 3:1 highlights the great love bestowed on us that we should be called sons of God. This love is not just an abstract feeling but is grounded in Christ's sacrifice for our sins. Recognizing this profound love helps believers to live confidently and to love others, reflecting God's love in our relationships. It empowers us to approach God boldly and reassures us of our standing in Him.
