How can we be sure that the One who created us really cares about us? After our first parents were created, they disobeyed God which brought the death sentence upon them and their descendants. (Genesis 3) Why did God not leave them to their own destruction then? He could have taken the approach, “Well, you had your chance and you blew it so you’ll just have to deal with the consequences I warned you about.” But he didn’t and why not? The answer is this, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” John 3:16-17. This is how we know He cares because, “Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13
