When some  think of God’s love perhaps this  one scripture  comes to their mind:  “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16) which is  the “Golden Text” of the bible.  Another  passage which will point out the love of God is this:   “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13).  Searchers  would do well to study  the scriptures  which have to do with the death of Christ in the  four  gospels.  It is here that the  love of God is manifested to a “lost and dying world.”  Jesus paid the price for our  sins when he became the “Passover Lamb” (1st Cor. 5:7). Though all of this is true and God is not willing that any should perish” (2 Peter 3:9), the Bible expresses that the full love of God can only be given to man when he is willing to return his love to  God.  You see the love of Jesus is a two way street and this is verified by the following: : “He that LOVETH ME shall BE LOVED of my Father, and I WILL LOVE HIM” (John 14:21). In order to reap the full benefits of God’s love, we must return that love through our obedience to him. Faith, repentance, confession of Christ as God’s Son and Baptism will get us started as a Christian. Afterward, it must be followed by living according to his commandments (John 14:15).
