This is the greatest truth of the Bible that we MUST know in order to really know God, enjoy our life with Him as His child and be the person we want to be for others. Here is a list of scriptures that I rely upon to know for certain that God loves me more than I could ever imagine or deserve!

1. God Loves You! May 3, 2015
The most foundational truth of our lives.
Here’s how I know that from the Bible:
Eph.1:3-8: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed
us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us
in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless
before Him. In love 5 He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to
Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His
grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. 7 In Him we have redemption
through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His
grace 8 which He lavished on us…”
1 John 3:1: “See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be
called children of God; and such we are.”
Eph.1:11,14: “also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined
according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will…13 In Him,
…you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is given as a
pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to
the praise of His glory.”
Eph. 2:8-10: “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God
prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.”
Rom. 8:15-18: “For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but
you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba!
Father!” 16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,
17 and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we
suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.”18 For I consider that the
sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is
to be revealed to us.”
1 Cor. 6: 2-3: “Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world?…3 Do you not
know that we will judge angels?…”
2 Tim. 2:12: “If we endure, we will also reign with Him.”
Rev. 3:20-21: “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and
opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. 21 He
who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also
overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

Luke 12:32: "So don't be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to
give you the Kingdom.
Rom. 8:26:”In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know
how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings
too deep for words.”
Heb. 7:25:”Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God
through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.”
Rom.28-39: “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to
those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. 29 For those
whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His
Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; 30 and these whom He
predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these
whom He justified, He also glorified.
31What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He
who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also
with Him freely give us all things? 33 Who will bring a charge against God’s
elect? God is the one who justifies; 34 who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is
He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also
intercedes for us.
35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 Just as it is written,“For
Your sake we are being put to death all day long;We were considered as sheep to be
slaughtered.”37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him
who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height,
nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of
God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Is. 61:1 (quoted by Jesus in Luke 4:18): “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me,
Because the LORD has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent
me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to
prisoners.”
John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
Psalm 23 & Is. 41:10: “Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you,
for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold
you with My righteous right hand.”
