God's Amazing Love

At the age of 14 years old when God found me. I was invited by my sister to attend a Sunday service, and i will never forget the bible verse John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life". I know that i did not deserve to be save, i did not deserve to be a son of GOD,every time i remember the day when GOD save me, when i was 14 years old... Now that i am 31 years old,i could really say that He is really "GOD", and for the past 17 years of my life one thing i discover...I know Him as God of LOVE. "God is Love" (1 John 4:8)my effort is not enough to please him. Because we are the one who choose to be separated from God through our own sin, yet it's God who mends the separation through His intense personal sacrifice, and all we have to do is accept His gift.Another great verse about God's love is found in Romans 5:8, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." In this verse we find no conditions placed on God's love for us. God doesn't say, "as soon as you clean up your act, I'll love you; " nor does He say, "I'll sacrifice my Son if you promise to love Me." In fact, in Romans 5:8, we find just the opposite. God wants us to know that His love is unconditional, so He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us while we were still unlovable sinners. We didn't have to get clean, and we didn't have to make any promises to God before we could experience His love. His love for us has always existed, and because of that, He did all the giving and sacrificing long before we were even aware that we needed His love.
God is Love: It's Unconditional
God is Love, and His love is very different from human love. God's love is unconditional, and it's not based on feelings or emotions. He doesn't love us because we're lovable or because we make Him feel good; He loves us because He is love. He created us to have a loving relationship with Him, and He sacrificed His own Son (who also willingly died for us) to restore that relationship.God is not expecting in return he choose to love us because he is love.
"I pray that you ... may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ" (Ephesians 3:17-19).
