Through being loved by God, we are made whole, complete, and lacking nothing. Ephesians 3:19 in the New Living Translation is so beautiful. Listen to this: "May you experience the love of Christ. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God."
The love of Jesus Christ completes us. Jesus is the rare older brother who also wants to be your best friend. Jesus initiated our relationship. He's our loving big brother who intervened when we were sentenced to die. He took our place so we could be free and come home to God.
It was God's idea, but Jesus did it. Romans 5:8 tells us, "But God demonstrated his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
But Jesus chooses to be our friend too. "You didn’t choose me, I chose you," said Jesus in John 15:16.
The history of the world is God reaching out to His wayward children. One of the greatest revelations in life is that God and Jesus are chasing us, loving us, and wanting closer relationship with us.
1 John 4:19 says, "We love Him because He first loved us." God initiates, we respond. That's the history of the human-God relationship.
That's the history of human God relationship.
