What is the most important message of the Bible?
Answer: that God loves us.

The Bible has many messages that are important to us, but the most important of these is that He loves us. Just trying to get our heads around that unconditional, incredible love is a good starting point to trying to understand the Bible as a whole. God's love, in short, really is mindboggling! How many fathers would sacrifice their sons, especially if that son were perfect? And that is just one example of His love.

We think that because we are x or because we are y, God loves us less than other people. No! God loves everyone the same. Don't forget that Jesus said: "I have come not to call the righteous but to call sinners." (Matthew 9:13). It is by His grace that He loves us and not because we are worthy of His love.

So when you feel weak and unworthy, take His strength and His worth and start your day!

God loves us, and He is capable of great things!

This comes from 'Children's Letters to God' compiled by Eric Marshall and Stuart Hample, a book that is both funny and poignant and shows faith and curiosity about God through the eyes of children. Let's remember that what God was capable of thousands of years ago He is still capable of today! If we read the newspapers, we will see things happening, miracles, that science cannot explain away and that's where the hand of God is. Our God truly is amazing!

“Dear God,
My teacher read us the part where all the Jews went through where the water was and got away. Keep up the good work. I am Jewish.
Love,
Paula.”
