Why Does God Love Us?

So why is it that "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16).

What is it that God saw in us that was so deserving that He would make the ultimate sacrifice for us?   Nothing mankind has ever done is worthy of His amazing Love!  Back in Jesus day, and just as it is today, people broke everyone of God's Commandments. They turned away from the 'living-God" to follow their own desires, worshiped nature, and self-made idols.They were selfish, unthankful, corrupt and rebellions. They lived life hating, lying, cheating and shed innocent blood.  God's assessment of everyone on earth was, "There is none righteous, not even one." (Romans 3:10).  But, out of God's love for all people then, and still today, we are worthy to be redeemed — because God created us in His own image (Genesis 1:26) and because he created us for himself. (Colossians 1:16). 

Why did God send Jesus to redeem us?  
I believe the answers lies near to God's own heart ... because He created us for Himself. 
How it must have hurt Him so deeply when Adam and Eve disobeyed Him in the Garden He created just for them. How they listened to the serpent while Satan distracted them, causing them to sin against God and disregard all He had given them and taught them.  

If we can consider the extent of God's love for us along with the sacrifice He made on our behalf — to send His Son to bear our sin and become our Savior, and being made in His own image — we have a heart that can recognize that God's only desire is to restore us back into fellowship with Himself.  

Or hearts will overflow with praise and worship if we daily allow the Holy Spirit to reveal God's amazing love to us

BEAUTIFUL THINGS

I wonder if I'll ever find my way?

I wonder if my life could really change at all?

All this earth - could all that is lost ever be found?

Could a garden come up from this ground?

You make beautiful things,

You make beautiful things out of the dust,

You make beautiful things...

You make beautiful things out of us.

All around Hope is springing up from this old ground

Out of chaos life is being found —

You make beautiful things... 

You make beautiful things out of the dust,

You make beautiful things... 

You make beautiful things out of us.

Oh, you make beautiful things

You make beautiful things out of the dust,

You make beautiful things...

You make beautiful things out of us.

You make me new, You are making me new.
