There is nothing we can do to make God love us more. Even when we were at our lowest point in life, neck deep in sin, He still loved us. He loved us so much that He sent Jesus His only begotten Son to live a perfect Life so He would be the perfect and final sacrifice for our sins. Nothing or no-one can separate us from that kind of Love!!!

31-39 So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn't hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn't gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:
They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.
We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.
None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.
Romans 8: 31-39 The Message Bible.
 
You are a blessing to us all as we read your reinforcement of the Words of God.

May I add to these wonderful truths, that in God's love for us, we are not to think that it is a permissive, that's OK whatever you want to do love. It is such a pure love that it includes wanting us to work for the best for ourselves by following how our Creator leads us to abundance, safety, contentment, love, and all good things. That is leading us away from sin.
