Loved and Accepted

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
John 3:16-18

We (my wife and I) were talking recently about people and that it seems that fundamentally everyone wants to be loved and accepted.  It occurs to me that that is exactly what God did when He sent Jesus.  From the very familiar verses above we see:
For God so loved ... and 
... not .. to condemn the world


God's love is unconditional.  We are loved and accepted by God.
