Yes!
Christians may disagree with each other on the word “gay” or whether God blesses same-sex marriage, but this is one thing we can generally agree on: God loves everyone!
- 1 John 4:8 tells us that “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”
- John 3:16 tells us that God sent Jesus for our sakes because of how “God so loved the world.”
- Romans 5:8 says that “God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Over and over in the Bible, we see evidence that God loves everyone, even the outcasts and sinners. In fact, those were some of Jesus’ closest friends!
Christians are called to honor God with our lives, repent of our sin (we’re all sinners!), and put our faith in Jesus. So God’s love isn’t an excuse to do whatever we want all the time. But it is an important reminder that no matter who you are or what you’ve done, God loves you right now, exactly as you are, and wants to draw you even closer. If anyone makes you feel unloved, that person is not speaking for God.
