Psalm 103:8–13
8 (102:8) The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy: 9 (102:9) He will not always strive with us, nor will He keep His anger forever. 10 (102:10) He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our iniquities: 11 (102:11) For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; 12 (102:12) As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us; 13 (102:13) As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.
Jeremiah 31:3

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
John 15:9–13
9 As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Abide in My love. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. 11 I have told you these things so that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 This is My commandment: Love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: that someone lay down his life for his friends.
Romans 5:5–8
5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. 6 For while we were still helpless, at the appointed time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For rarely will anyone die for a righteous person; though perhaps for a good person someone might dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 8:35–39
35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ: tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness of the body, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written: For Your sake we are put to death all day long; we are considered as sheep destined for slaughter. 37 But in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor rulers, neither things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ephesians 2:4–5
4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
Ephesians 3:17–19
17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, (3:18) so that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able, with all the saints, to comprehend what is the width and length and depth and height, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Titus 3:4–5
4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 He saved us, not because of righteous deeds we had done, but because of His mercy, through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,
1 John 3:1
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.
1 John 4:7–10
7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
1 John 4:16–19
16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 19 We love because He first loved us.
