Does God love me?
Yes. The Bible says God loves every person deeply and personally, proven supremely by sending Jesus to die for us while we were still sinners. His love does not depend on our performance.
The clearest statement is John 3:16: ‘For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son.’ That ‘world’ includes you. God’s love is not a vague sentiment but a costly, demonstrated love.
Paul writes, ‘God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us’ (Romans 5:8). God did not wait for us to become good enough; he loved us first, at our worst. That means his love does not rise and fall with our performance.
This love is also personal. Scripture says God knit you together (Psalm 139:14) and that nothing ‘will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus’ (Romans 8:39). Whatever you have done or feel, God’s love toward you is real and secure in Christ.
