1 John 4:19 says, “We love him, because he first loved us.” What that means is that since God loves us so much even to the point of dying on the cross we should also love Him. As, Christian’s we love God. The fact that even before we were born Christ died for us is amazing and a sign of God’s amazing love for us. John 3:16 also comes to mind that God loved the world so much that He was willing to die in our place so that whoever receives Him as Savior will have eternal life in Heaven. I am thankful that through Jesus Christ we are united with the Father and given eternal life. Amen
