(1 John 4:8) Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

(Romans 5:8 NIV) But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 

(Romans 8:35,37-39 CEV) 35 Can anything separate us from the love of Christ? Can trouble, suffering, and hard times, or hunger and nakedness, or danger and death? 37 In everything we have won more than a victory because of Christ who loves us. 38 I am sure that nothing can separate us from God's love—not life or death, not angels or spirits, not the present or the future, 39 and not powers above or powers below. Nothing in all creation can separate us from God's love for us in Christ Jesus our Lord!
