“Limitless Love”

Why does Jesus love us so much?  Is there a specific reason?

Sincerely,
Skeptical

Dear Skeptical,

The specific reason God (and Jesus as His Son) loves us so much is because of God’s character.  His love for mankind has nothing to do with how great we are, any achievements we have performed, etc.  The short answer is God is love (1 Jn 4:8).  His love toward us is part of who He is and His great and unfathomable character.  God’s love is the beginning of all love because we are made in His image (Gen 1:26).  We love because He first loved us (1 Jn 4:10).
