God is Love !

The only way to know God is to show love for others because the Bible says "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love" -1 John 4:8(NIV). Christianity is a combination of love towards God and love towards people. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind. This is first greatest commandment. And second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself. All the Law and prophets hang on these two commandments"- Mathew 22:37-40(NIV).
Relationship
"See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God ! And that is what we are"-1 John 3:1(NIV). "And I will be your father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty"-2 Corinthians 6:18(NAS)).
Every father has abundant love towards his children.
"Love means doing what God has commanded us, and He has commanded us to love one another, just as you heard from the beginning"-2 John 1:6(NLT). "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ"-Galatians 6:2(NIV).
This is the love what we have to shown on others.
Benefits
He is our provider of all.
"But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus"-Philippians4:19(KJV)
Because he is creator of all.
"God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth.He made the things we can see and we can't see-- such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers,  and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through Him and for Him"-Colossians 1:16(NLT)
Above All
"Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne?But even if that were possible, I would not forget you!"-Isaiah 49:15(NLT)
Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and "I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you"-Isaiah 46:4(NIV)
So you also love Him that
"Anyone who loves his mother and father more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son and daughter more than me is not worthy of me"-Mathew 10:37(NIV)
Deliverance
"Surely He took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered Him punished by God. Stricken by Him, and afflicted. Bur he was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed"-Isaiah 53:4-5(NIV).
"Jesus Christ, He is an offering for sin".-Isaiah 53:10(NIV).
Eternity
"I am the door of the sheep"-John 10:7(ESV)."I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"-John 14:6(NIV)."Everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life"-John 3:15(GWT)
