God Quotes About What He Does

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? - Romans 8:28-32

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. -1 John 4:7-16

God Quotes About What He’s Done for Us

For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.

But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children— with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts. - Psalm 103:17-18

The most important thing we can take away from this is that God is a loving God. He lovingly created the heavens and earth and all of the creatures in it. He lovingly created us and desired relationship with us--even from the time in the Garden of Eden. After the fall of man, He desired a reconciliation so much that He sent His Son into the world to live a perfect life and die to pay the penalty for our sins. It’s because of this that we stand uncondemned before God (Romans 8:1) for those in Christ. We hope you found these 30 God quotes helpful and inspirational!
