There’s nothing like the love of God. It’s the greatest thing God ever did for any of us. Because He loved us, He was moved to do everything else He has done.
1 John 4:9-10 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
I can't understand it or know why, but I know I have experienced it and I can never be separated from it - Rom. 8:38-39.
God's love is best seen at the cross.
Could we with ink the ocean fill—-And were the skies of parchment made—-Were every stalk on earth a quill—-And every man a scribe by trade—-To write the love of God above—-Would drain the ocean dry—-Nor could the scroll contain the whole—-Though stretched from sky to sky. —-Meir Ben Isaac Nehorai, 1050
