God so loved us that He sent us his son

 

1 John 4 : 9 -10

9 God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. 10 This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.

God's intimate love for his children is demonstrated through the gospel of Jesus Christ. (Romans 1:7) God's salvation is available to whosoever (John 3:16) strictly through believing the gospel message. (Romans 1:16) God's salvation and believing the gospel message is mutually exclusive. (1 John 5:12)

Real love is from God because God is able to do for us what we are incapable of doing for ourselves. We are unable to save ourselves. We are unable to justify ourselves. (make ourselves righteous) God's love meets our ultimate need. Our ultimate need is eternal life. (1 John : 4 : 9) Eternal life is an eternal, divine quality of life which is produced, sustained, and perfected through the work of God the Father, God the son, and God the Holy Spirit.(Romans 8:30)

We are incapable of loving God apart from the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit. (1 John 3:24) The Bible says God reconciled us through His son Jesus Christ while we were still enemies of God. (Romans 5:8) Jesus is our Passover lamb. Because He died for us, our sins have been wiped away BY HIS SHED BLOOD. (1 Corinthians 5:7)

God's demonstrated love is perfect because:

1) God loves perfectly (1 John 4:8, Romans 2: 4

2) God's love is complete (John 19:30, John 17:4, 2 Corinthians 5: 18-19)

3) God's love is eternal (Ephesians 2:7)

4) God gave us his perfect son the Lord Jesus Christ. (Hebrews 12:2)
