Regardless what you have thought all your life, the truth is:
 
GOD Loves You!

 

"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."  
John 3:16

 

This means you!  The love of GOD is fulfilled in you when you make the decision to  believe in JESUS.

 JESUS said; "The FATHER HIMSELF loves you because you have loved ME and have believed that I came from GOD."  John 16:27

No one could ever love you more than GOD does!  When you choose to accept JESUS as your personal SAVIOR  you will receive the powerful effects of GOD'S love in your life.  

  How great is the love the FATHER has lavished on us, that we should be called children of GOD!  And that is what we are!"  
1 John 3:1

The moment you become a child of GOD, you realize what JESUS meant when HE spoke about having to become born again to go to heaven.

  JESUS declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of GOD unless he is born again."  John 3:3

The cost of GOD'S love for you can be visualized in a poster that reads - 

I asked JESUS; " how much do you love me?"

And JESUS said;
"This much"

And HE stretched
out HIS arms and ...

Died...

for
me!!
