Does God really love me?

Direct answer

Yes. Scripture repeatedly reveals God's love for the world — not as sentimental feeling but as costly, personal, and demonstrated at the cross of Jesus Christ. 'God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son' (John 3:16) is not a slogan but the summary of history.

The question of God's love touches everyone. And the answer of the Bible is not abstract but historical: God has shown His love in the sending, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Romans 5:8 makes it personal — 'while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.' God's love is not withheld until we deserve it. It comes to us first, and it invites a response.
