Some of the best Valentine’s Day Bible verses are about God’s love for us.

I wanted to share some of my favorite verses about Jesus’ love for us–I’ve been thinking on these a lot lately, because God’s view of love is so different from what the world says it is. I think it’s important that as Christians we go to the Word for a solid understanding of who God is and what His love really means.
