1 John 4:11-12

“Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.”- 1 John 4:11-12

It is testament to the fact that God loves us. He created us. Just as those who design love their creations, He who lives in Heaven does to also. But the fact remains that, people think that they have to do holy things in order for God to love them.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16

This is arguably the most popular verse in the bible. John 3:16 is proof that God loves us. But people often raise the question that if we are not holy, if we do not read the bible, do not keep His commandments and such that we will go unloved. Tell me, why is it that even when you have done wrong, your father on Earth will forgive you and not forsake you. Nor your mother will cast you aside. Such grievances are almost unheard off. Our Father in Heaven loves us because we are children of God. When we accepted Christ we gained this right.

He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God children born not of natural descent,nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. - John 1: 11-13

Don't get me wrong here, God loved and still loves us eventhough we are in sin. But we are saved through Jesus. We cannot be on par with God because we sin. This is the thing that separates us from God. But with Christ, we overcame that obstacle and thus we can live in the Spirit and in knowledge that we have an all loving God.
