God’s way of showing love to His people

The love of God to his people is shown through many ways. He provides such needs as food, shelter/house and clothes for his children. He makes the sun to shine both on the good and on evil people. God also sends rain on both the just and the unjust. It is the love of God that brings sinners to repentance.

The love of God for the world made him to send his only begotten son, Jesus, into the world to perform different miracles, signs and wonders. Jesus had pity on the sick, lame, blind, and many who had any need. He gave hope to the hopeless and life to the lifeless.

 

Jesus was nailed to the cross and died for the sins of the people. He shed his blood for the forgiveness of sins. Jesus told us that we should love one another and be perfect as our heavenly father is perfect.
