Why Jesus Loves Us ?

I'm sure we all have thought about this question at one time or another. And our sinful human minds cannot comprehend God's love for us, as the song goes "Amazing love how can it be that Thou my God shouldest die for me". The Bible doesn't say a whole lot about why God loves us, but it tells us that "God is love" 1 John 4:8. The fact that the God of this universe loves and cares for the rebellious human race is probably the greatest mystery of all time. Not only did He create us, "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 Though it may be difficult to grasp, it's easy to accept: "God showed how much he loved us by sending his only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love. It is not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins."
