But God commandeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. EPH. II, 4. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5. Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ; (by grace ye are saved;) 6. And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7. That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. LUKE VI, 35.

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. JAMES V, 11. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. HOSEA XI, 8.

How excellent is thy loving-kindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. PSALM LXIX, 16.

Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. PSALM LXXXVI, 15. But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long-suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. PSALM CXLV, 8. The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion: slow to anger, and of great mercy. 9. The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
