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, He's our superfriend!

This is from one of my favourite gospel songs: Superfriend by Mary Mary and David Banner.

They're here now but then they're gone.
Where they at? I don't know.
They hit the door,
That kind of friend I gotta let go.
A superfriend, a superfriend,
Yes sir I got me one of them,
A superfriend, a superfriend
I got me a superfriend

No sir, there's nothing half way about him
This world could never be made without him
No heart, no breath, no mind, no sun, no moon, no time
He's something like the best of them
He's nothing like the rest of them

He heard me before I made a sound
Caught me before I hit the ground
He knows everything I need
Before I tell him anything

Loves me without requirements
Can't see him but it's evident
He's something like the best of them
Said He's nothing like the rest of them
