Why would God love us? I've pondered this question for a long time and I think it might be this ( or just another theory actually ) so-
When a mother and father make a child and then have the baby, they are overjoyed at their little creation. They love him/her.
So why would God love us sinners? Because we are His creation. We are His children.
( At first I had though since were made in His image that He only loves Himself.........but that's not right. Children are technically made in the image of their parents -physically- but the parents are not thinking about themselves when they are loving their child. They actually make sacrifices for the child because they love him/her. Just as Jesus made a sacrifice because He loves us. )

Yes.. G-d created man so that He would have a bride. To marry so to speak. A relationship...Tina wrote:Why would God love us? I've pondered this question for a long time and I think it might be this ( or just another theory actually ) so-

Ehh......I absolutely agree with the relationship (and it's beautiful ). But I believe we're more His children...we get an inheritance in Heaven. And if He wanted a bride, wouldn't He have made only one person? After all, He intended marriage to be between one man and one woman.

Um.. No. When I mean a bride, I'm taking about His church..
Oh lol yes that's true. Sorry for the miscommunication, I was talking about us as people. The church is His bride and we are His children.
