The first of His comforts is this, that He has said to my soul, I am your salvation. He saves us, not because of any merit in us, or any deservings of our own, but because sovereign grace chose us, and divine compassion redeemed us, and when we were far off, infinite pity brought us back, and made us near by the precious blood of Christ. A saved sinner can truly say, Your comforts delight my soul. Susanna Spurgeon

In this, the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent His only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we have loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:9-10.
