“God, the creator of the universe and the most powerful being in the universe, loves you. This is what you need to understand. He loves you, not just other people but yourself as a whole. He is interested in your life and wants you to be a part of it.”
Even if your entire life has been spent running from God, or doing things that you regret, God still loves you and wants to be in a relationship.
God’s unconditional love is infinite and inexhaustible — far more than what any human being can do. God commands all who follow Him to love each other. You can see a imperfect image of God’s love among sincere believers whose hearts God has transformed.
Even the most loving people will fail to love others, so they’ll encourage you to get to the root.

Bible Verses on the Love of God
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
Isaiah 53:6
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Psalm 103:2-5
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
Romans 13:9-10

Song of Solomon 8:6-7
Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.

1 Thessalonians 3:12
And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
How great is the love of God? The Bible contains hundreds of verses about it, and John 3:16 is perhaps the most famous passage. However, it is not the only version of the question. D. A. Carson has identified different ways to talk about God’s love. They are: the peculiar love of the Father, the providential or perfect love of the Son, and the saving or the perfect will of the Father.
The love of God is lavish, and it makes us free from sin. This love binds the whole world. It is the treasure of heaven. It shakes mountains and makes them flat. It purifies every heart. This great love of God is unrestricted and unconditional. The gift of common grace reveals the depth of this love, and it is the greatest gift ever given. It is the greatest love of all, and it is the highest form of God’s grace.
God’s love is perfect, and it is infinite. This love is unconditional. It does not require you to make the other person right. When you are in the presence of a loving God, it is impossible for you to be in the wrong place. It is as if your guardian angels were watching over you and protecting you. This love is the most perfect love that can exist. We must strive to live lives filled with the same kind of love as our heavenly Father.
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.

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. 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. Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.
