But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
-Romans 5:8-11 (King James Version)
You don't think God loves His creation? You don't think God loves you? I know He does, and there are many verses to prove the love God has for you. These are some of them.
Paul writes, in verse 8, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." God is committing His love toward us. That's what the word "commendeth" means, it meas to commit, to entrust. God loves you so much, that He is committing His love for you, while you are deep in sin. While you don't care what God wants, what God desires, that is how deep God's love for you is. Think of it this way, it's easy for you to love someone who loves you back. How hard is it to love someone who doesn't love you in return? Difficult, right? That's what it was like for God. His love wasn't returned, and sadly, still isn't returned today.
His love for you is committed through Jesus Christ. God loves you so much that He sent Jesus to pay the penalty for your sins, while you were a sinner! He provided a means for your sins to be atoned for, so that you can spend all eternity with Him in His Kingdom. Isn't that a great example of love? True love? God is committing His love toward you, while you were a sinner, through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Think About It.
