1 John 4:16, 19

And we have known and believed the love that God has for us.  God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.  We love Him because He first loved us.  

Every human being at their core wants to be loved.  Babies won’t thrive without it.  We love God because of His unconditional love for us.  There isn’t any other religion or philosophy that has this unselfish kind of love. That is why we must remind ourselves of God’s love for us daily.
