9 God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. 10 This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
--- 1 John 4:9-10
Jesus is God’s only Son. While all believers are sons and daughters of God, only Jesus lives in this special unique relationship (see John 1:18; 3:16)
Love explains (1) why God creates---because he loves, he creates people to love; (2) why God cares---because he loves them, he cares for sinful people; (3) why we are free to choose---God wants a loving response from us; (4) why Christ died---his love for us caused him to offer a solution to the problem of sin; and (5) why we receive eternal life---God’s love expresses itself to us forever.
