How are you doing, Friend?
The scriptures teach that God is love (1 John 4:8) and that
salvation’s plan, in all its parts, is the fruit of that love. God did
not give His Son to die for us, that He might love us; but He loved us
and, because of that love, He sacrificed His Son for us.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8 NIV
You might have been told that God only loves you because of Jesus.
But this is not true nor biblical! God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit loved
you and agreed on the plan of salvation. The trinity is always unified
in everything. God’s love toward us, even when we were sinners, was
sufficiently intense to cause Him to give up His Son Jesus to death.
Jesus laid down His life willingly (John 10:18; 1 John 3:16).
