The depth of God's love for humanity is a profound theme throughout Scripture, revealed in the ultimate act of sacrifice when He gave His only Son for the salvation of the world, as expressed in John 3:16. This love is further demonstrated in Romans 5:8, where God's willingness to send Jesus to die for sinners is highlighted. The letters of John emphasize that God is love itself, as stated in 1 John 4:8, and that our ability to love comes from Him, as noted in 1 John 4:19. Through faith, believers can experience this love and be transformed, as Paul describes in Galatians 2:20, where he writes of being crucified with Christ and living by faith in the Son of God who loves him.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.
And we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.
