You Are Loved
1. God loves you DEEPLY
Ephesians 3:18-19 NLT
"And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God."
2nd Samuel 14:14b NLT
"But God does not just sweep life away; instead, he devises ways to bring us back when we have been separated from him."
2. God loves you COMPLETELY
1 John 4:10 NLT
"This is real love - not than we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away out sins."
Ephesians 2:4-5 NLT
"But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God's grace that you have been saved!)"
3. God loves you ETERNALLY
John 3:16 NLT
"For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life."
Romans 8:31-39 MSG
"So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture: They kill us in cold blood because they hate you. We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one. None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us."
