There are numerous Bible verses that make known God’s love for humanity. It is the love of God that holds the power to both sustain and transform us. Check out these amazing, transformative Bible verses about God’s Love:

“THIS IS MY COMMANDMENT, THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, AS I HAVE LOVED YOU.” – JOHN 15:12, KJV

Christ Jesus commands that Christians love one another in the same manner that God has loved humanity.

“GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS, THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS.” – JOHN 15:13, KJV

Among Bible verses about love, this one reminds us of the importance of sacrificing for others, with Jesus making his own sacrifice for the sake of humanity the most touching and powerful example of selflessness.

“BEHOLD, WHAT MANNER OF LOVE THE FATHER HATH BESTOWED UPON US, THAT WE SHOULD BE CALLED THE SONS OF GOD: THEREFORE THE WORLD KNOWETH US NOT, BECAUSE IT KNEW HIM NOT.” – 1 JOHN 3:1, KJV

The holy spirit guides Christians along the right path, with the Bible making it clear that the world won’t know Christ Jesus nor His ways. God’s love is available to anyone willing to embrace Him.

“BUT THOU, O LORD, ART A GOD FULL OF COMPASSION, AND GRACIOUS, LONG SUFFERING, AND PLENTEOUS IN MERCY AND TRUTH.” – PSALM 86:15, KJV

As children of God, this Bible verse reminds us that we serve a faithful God who is “full of compassion” and who embraces mercy and truth — a true comfort to us all.

“THOUGH I SPEAK WITH THE TONGUES OF MEN AND OF ANGELS, AND HAVE NOT CHARITY, I AM BECOME AS SOUNDING BRASS, OR A TINKLING CYMBAL. AND THOUGH I HAVE THE GIFT OF PROPHECY, AND UNDERSTAND ALL MYSTERIES, AND ALL KNOWLEDGE; AND THOUGH I HAVE ALL FAITH, SO THAT I COULD REMOVE MOUNTAINS, AND HAVE NOT CHARITY, I AM NOTHING.” – 1 CORINTHIANS 13:1-2, KJV

These two Bible verses encourage us to love God and love others, proclaiming that we are nothing without the hand of the love that the Almighty calls us to. As children of God, it’s essential that we remember this reality.

“AND NOW ABIDETH FAITH, HOPE, CHARITY, THESE THREE; BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE IS CHARITY.” – 1 CORINTHIANS 13:13, KJV

This verse reminds of of the love of God, as He created these emotions and experiences. The Bible makes it clear that children of God are to value love and live it out in our lives.

“FOR GREAT IS THY MERCY TOWARD ME: AND THOU HAST DELIVERED MY SOUL FROM THE LOWEST HELL.” – PSALM 86:13, KJV

We serve a faithful God who helps guide us through the holy spirit. He is merciful and His love holds the power to save us even from our darkest pains and our worst decisions.

“FINALLY, MY BRETHREN, BE STRONG IN THE LORD, AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT.” – EPHESIANS 6:10, KJV

Many Bible verses remind us of God’s power. Through the love of God we can find strength — that’s a reality this verse captures.

“O GIVE THANKS UNTO THE GOD OF HEAVEN: FOR HIS MERCY ENDURETH FOR EVER.” – PSALM 136:26, KJV

God’s love lasts forever. From creation through Christ Jesus’ sacrifice and beyond, God has guided the arc of human history. His love and mercy will always sustain us.

“AND WE HAVE KNOWN AND BELIEVED THE LOVE THAT GOD HATH TO US. GOD IS LOVE; AND HE THAT DWELLETH IN LOVE DWELLETH IN GOD, AND GOD IN HIM.” – 1 JOHN 4:16, KJV

Remember that “God is love.” Christ Jesus’ sacrifice for humanity is the most selfless gift imaginable. Turn to the son of God and allow the holy spirit to transform you.

“BUT GOD COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT, WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US.” – ROMANS 5:8, KJV

God’s love can save us from our sins and we can live eternal life in heaven with the Almighty. As Christians, we have the holy spirit to rely on. This is one of the Bible verses that reminds us of Christ Jesus’ sacrifice for us all.

“FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.” – JOHN 3:16, KJV

Believing in Jesus and His death on the cross as the act that saved humanity’s sins — and living a life based on that belief — is the key to eternal life. Accepting Christ means allowing the holy spirit to fill and guide you.

“FOR GOD SENT NOT HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD; BUT THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED.” – JOHN 3:17, KJV

The Lord’s goal is to save human beings. God’s love is profound and he sent us Jesus — the son of God — to give us a path toward salvation and eternal life.

“FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD.” – EPHESIANS 2:8, KJV

It is faith that saves us. As children of God we are called to embrace Christ and allow the holy spirit to transform us.

“FOR WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS UNTO GOOD WORKS, WHICH GOD HATH BEFORE ORDAINED THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM.” – EPHESIANS 2:10, KJV

Christ Jesus is our example for how to live and behave. There are numerous Bible verses that emphasize this. As children of God, this verse is a good reminder of how we should live.

“I AM CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST: NEVERTHELESS I LIVE; YET NOT I, BUT CHRIST LIVETH IN ME: AND THE LIFE WHICH I NOW LIVE IN THE FLESH I LIVE BY THE FAITH OF THE SON OF GOD, WHO LOVED ME, AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR ME.” – EPHESIANS 2:20, KJV

When we accept Christ, we invite the holy spirit to live in us. It is this decision — one made available through God’s love for humanity — that can transform us.

“JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HER, WHOSOEVER DRINKETH OF THIS WATER SHALL THIRST AGAIN: BUT WHOSOEVER DRINKETH OF THE WATER THAT I SHALL GIVE HIM SHALL NEVER THIRST; BUT THE WATER THAT I SHALL GIVE HIM SHALL BE IN HIM A WELL OF WATER SPRINGING UP INTO EVERLASTING LIFE.” – JOHN 4:13-14, KJV

Eternal life is something every human being must consider. With Christ Jesus, we have the ability to live after death with Christ Jesus. We serve a faithful God who will allow us to “never thirst,” so long as we open our hearts to Him.

“THE LORD THY GOD IN THE MIDST OF THEE IS MIGHTY; HE WILL SAVE, HE WILL REJOICE OVER THEE WITH JOY; HE WILL REST IN HIS LOVE, HE WILL JOY OVER THEE WITH SINGING.” – ZEPHANIAH 3:17, KJV

God’s love is powerful. He didn’t merely create humanity and step away; the Lord actively wants to build a relationship with each of us. As children of God, we can begin to relate more to God through prayer and Bible reading.

“FOR THOU, LORD, ART GOOD, AND READY TO FORGIVE; AND PLENTEOUS IN MERCY UNTO ALL THEM THAT CALL UPON THEE.” – PSALM 86:5, KJV

God’s love for humanity means that he is always ready and willing to forgive — we merely need to ask. Christ Jesus died for our sins. If we love God we can turn to Him and he will forgive us. No mistake is too big for our faithful God to save us from.

“I AM CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST: NEVERTHELESS I LIVE; YET NOT I, BUT CHRIST LIVETH IN ME: AND THE LIFE WHICH I NOW LIVE IN THE FLESH I LIVE BY THE FAITH OF THE SON OF GOD, WHO LOVED ME, AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR ME.” – GALATIANS 2:20, KJV

Christ Jesus can live in us all — and when He does, His love changes everything.
