The Personal Love of God
The personal love of God is like an equation that works one way better than the other: God loves the whole world, and that encompasses us individually. He doesn’t love us individually until he ends up loving everyone.

The Dangerous Act of Worship – living God’s call to justice p80
Interesting…and provocative.
Simply stated yet with profound implications.
I like that, it emphasises that we do not earn acceptance and love from God and it highlights the issue of God saving us through his own son while we were operating in a sinful nature not just when we become lovable.
