Hi Darren, surely you did not forget about John 3:16
John 3:16 For God so loved (loves) the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
v. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
1John 4:9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him
v. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Rom 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved (loves) us,
v. 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
2Co 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
2Co 5:14 Whatever we do, it is because Christ's love controls us. Since we believe that Christ died for everyone, we also believe that we have all died to the old life we used to live. (NLT)
Rom 8:32
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies.
34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written:
"For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors
through Him who loved (loves) us.Mercy, peace and love
