OUTLINE:

1 Jn 4:16a
So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us.

Being Loved By God
Christ's love for us motivated Him to go to the Cross for us, and it's that same love that God continues to love His children with! Ro 8:28-39, Gal 2:20b

Being Loved By God
God's love is unbreakable and uninterruptible, regardless of the opposition, because He possesses perfect faithfulness. Lam 3:22-23, Ro 8:38-39

1 Pe 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

To Be Loved By God
He now calls us "beloved"!!!

The Love of the Father
To fathom such selfless grace and mercy and love ALSO being unbreakable... as human beings we are simply not familiar with such faithfulness in this world; it's completely foreign to us!

1 Co 1:9
God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

The Love of the Father
We believers are loved by God the Father with the same love He has for His precious Son. Jn 17:23-26

The Love of the Father
"Be-loved!  I know you might not be able to comprehend it, but by faith, be-loved! Because you are My beloved!"  

God has destined we believers to be loved by Him for all of eternity!

Ro 1:7
To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
