God Loved Us First

1 John 4:10-"This is love: not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins."

He loved us first! He offered his Son to save us regardless of our decision to believe or ignore his grace. We are given the ability to accept or reject the death of his Son as the sacrifice for our sins. The only condition, as 1 John 2:1-2 emphasizes, is that we realize that he died for everyone else in the world, too!
