According to Jesus, what does it mean to be loved by God?

There is a very important question involved in the subject of this booklet. That question is: whom does God love? To this question we must by all means have the right answer, the answer of God Himself, the answer of the Scriptures, therefore. John 3:16 teaches us: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have everlasting life. What is the world which God loved? Who belong to that world? Do all men belong to that world, or do only some men belong to it? And if only some men belong to that world, who are they? I called this a very important question; and indeed it is. For, in the first place, it is important personally. From this point of view, the question may be formulated: does God love me? And in that form the critical importance of that question at once impresses you and me. Does God love me? Can I be, may I be, am I certain of that love? Then all is well. For the love of God is certainly all-important. If God loves me, then I am an heir of eternal life. If God loves me, I shall never perish. If God loves me, then I may lose all, yea, even my very life, and still possess that which is precious above all. If God loves me, then my father and my mother may forsake me; but the Lord will take me up, and clasp me to His divine bosom. But, by the same token, if God does not love me, that is, if He hates me, then all is ill. Then I shall perish eternally. Then, though I possess all things, yea, the whole world, I am the most impoverished among men. Then His face is against me for evil. Then I am of all men most miserable. Then I face the prospect of everlasting suffering in hell, where shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Indeed, this is an all-important personal question. Whom does God love? Does He love me?

According to Jesus, what does it mean to be loved by God?

Hi dear friends, This is my favourite word in the bible.Love is something that Human kind didn`t deserve, it`s the extra ordinary care of God upon us, it`s just too extravagant.You see John is also my favourite desciple.He knew what love was and the bibel says that for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that however believes him should not perish but have eternal life ''Jn3:16'' can you Imagine someone dying for you and me, this what the love of God does and actually it reminds the story of the prodigal son in the bible who went and mis used his money and after awhile he thought of coming back and the father runs so fast to get him, what amazes me is that the father didn`t ask where did you put the money I gave you? what do you want?Why have come back yet Igave you your possession?.In reality any father wouldn`t welcome this boy b`se he had no possession in the house any more but b`se God is God he loves us the way we`re even when we sin he loves us the more and this his nature and it`s this that we shall go to heaven.This is what I call the extravang love of God.

What is the Kingdom of God?

The Kingdom of God is the government established by God with Christ Jesus as the King. And it is in Heaven. The Bible says, Jesus is the King of those who call themselves kings, and Lord for those who call themselves lords. And will come to judge the living and the dead.
