What are some encouraging bible verses about life and how God loves all?

Favorite Answer

"You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation."
Romans 5:6-11

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:28-39


Listen what God did for this man.........

Sometimes, when people are hurting, Bible verses may not reassure their faith. I know. One night long ago, I left church and left God there. I told myself there was no God. But, as I lay in my bed thinking, I went back to the basis in logic for existence, "Cogito ergo sum," which means, "I think, therefore I am." Was I simply a figment of some being's imagination? Did I even exist at all? Was everything just a dream?
I finally realized that because I am thinking, I do exist. That became premise number one. Other people around the world are existing at the same time as I, and they are real for the same reasons. So, premise two came about because I had to answer the question, "Is everything I see out in the world just a part of my imagination?" Well, everything I see in the world around me is acting and reacting without my input. I read the newspaper, and there are a million things that happened, even while I was asleep. I had nothing to do with these events, yet they happened. So, I did not imagine any of this. The world does indeed exist. Premise two, the world is real.
Premise three was answering the question, "Did I create all of what I see?" Well, can I tell a tree to appear? Can I even tell a flower to open? Can I simply speak and make anything appear? The answer is no. Premise three - I did not create anything in this world. Note, in science we understand that nothing can be created or destroyed, only altered. Burn a piece of paper, you have not destroyed it, only altered the chemicals that make up that piece of paper. You may separate those chemicals into carbon and oxygen, but all of the elements are still here. So, I cannot create anything in this world, yet this world exists. Which leads me to premise four.
If I cannot create these things that I see around me, then someone else did, and since that someone else can create these things, and I cannot, then that "someone else" is greater than me.
That "someone else" is God.

Do we have hard times? Yes. Does God care? Yes. Does He have a reason for allowing us to have hard times? Yes. Will we understand why in this life? Not always. Should we then hate God? No. In time, we will understand. If not here, then on the other side for sure. All we can do while here is try to ind the joy that is due us, try to understand the lessons that we can, and endure the sorrows that come our way. No strength is ever built without being tested. Or, as someone once wisely said, "I didn't promise you a victory without a battle."
Tell your friend all things are temporary, that for every night there is a day. We cannot always live in the sunshine, but without the darkness we cannot appreciate the joy of the sunshine fully. And, sweetheart, the sunshine will come again.

Tell your friend that Jesus loved him so much that when your friend was at his very worst, Jesus died for him. Jesus wants him to spend eternity in Heaven, where he will never want for anything and never shed a tear.
Ask the friend if they can imagine loving someone else so much they would be willing to sacrifice their own child to save them. Not just some death row lethal injection, but public humiliation, beaten and brutalized and hung up in front of everyone to die a painful death reserved for the lowest of the low. That is the amount God loves your friend.
The bible does not promise a easy path, in fact it tells you that you will go through trials. It tells you that you will walk through the valley of the shadow of death, but to fear no evil for God is with you...
I don't know what trial your friend is going through, google 'promises of God' and you should be able to access many of His promises. Tell your friend sometimes we go to the last moment of the last second to see if we will still trust in God, if we do He will show up in that last moment. You must have faith. Jesus says in the bible when talking to the apostles, that everything they had seen Him do and more they could do also, if they would have faith and believe as much as a grain of mustard seed. That they can tell a mountain to pull itself up and throw itself into the sea and it will. Great things require great faith and if your friend needs a break through, rededicate their life to God, repent of your sins, ask Jesus to be their Lord and Savior, then fast and pray, Jesus will give them an answer....Show more
