He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:10
The word love is used to mean many different things. We say that we "love" the house that we have just bought or that we "love" a particular vacation spot. We also "love" a certain television program and we "love" our husband or wife. Hopefully we don't love our spouse the same way we love that television program!
The greatest love of all however, is God's love for us. It's an unconditional love...a love that does not depend on what we do. A friend once observed; "love talked about is easily ignored...but love demonstrated is irresistible." God's love is a love that showed itself in action at Calvary. The Bible states in Romans 5: 8 "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Insight: Now that is real love! How will you respond to God's love today?
Prayer: Dear God, Help me to believe today's devotion and also what You have said in John 3:16, For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. In Jesus' Name, Amen

And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life, he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
1 John 5:11-12
