Last year I looked at many doctrines in the Bible that every child of God should understand. I would like to continue looking at more simple doctrines for the first part of this year.

We saw that God is a Trinity, He is just and Holy, and that His Son Jesus Christ is both 100% God in the flesh and 100% man.

Today I would like to talk about the love of God. Such a simple topic—and yet—hard to fully understand. Why does He take the time to be interested in us? And more importantly— why did God love us so much that He gave His Son to pay for our sins?

So today let’s see what the Bible says about the love of God.

In Romans chapter five we see the love of God clearly shown to His creation. God did not just say He loved man, He showed us by the act of dying for all mankind.

Let’s that in Romans 5:6-8

Rom 5:6  For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
