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, no matter what we're going though!

C S Lewis, author of the Narnia Chronicles was also a strong Christian who wrote many essays about his faith. Here are some fantastic quotes of his showing both a sense of humour and a deep understanding of God's love:

"God will look to every soul like its first love because He is its first love."

“Though our feelings come and go, God’s love for us does not.”

“God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world”

“God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through it, not without pain but without stain”
