John Mark McMillan, original writer of “How He Loves”
This literally gives me chills. It will always be my favorite version, the original. I saw him in in concert last night and we were all headbanging for Jesus. It was such a beautiful night.

![My God is a God of love. not hate. Never hate.
The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 God’s love was revealed among us in this way: [c] God sent His One and Only Son into the world so that we might live through Him. 10 Love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the [d] propitiation [e] for our sins. 11 Dear friends, if God loved us in this way, we also must love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God. [f] If we love one another, God remains in [g] us and His love is perfected in us.

Fully Forgiven
by Charles Stanley
Romans 8:1 NIV
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Do you believe God likes you?
“Don’t you mean, ‘loves me’?” you ask.
No, likes you…
If he were to show up in bodily form, do you think he would seek you out? Would you be someone he would enjoy being around?
Isn’t it strange how much more comfortable we are with the concept of love than with the concept of like when it comes to God’s feelings towards us? Why do you think that is true? Often the reason lies in the fact that we have not come to grips with the real extent to which God has forgiven us. Consequently, we live with a subtle sense of condemnation…
The truth is, every reason God had for being angry with us was dealt with at Calvary. Our forgiveness is so complete that God is not only free to love us, he can like us as well… You are not condemned. Christ was condemned on your behalf, and now you are free!
"In spite of your failures or in spite of your successes, our identity is now secure because it is not wrapped up in what we do for God but what He did for us."
