F.F. Bruce on the love of God

"The love of God is limitless; it embraces all mankind. No sacrifice was too great to bring its unmeasured intensity home to men and women: the best that God had to give, He gave - His only Son, His well-beloved. Nor was it for one nation or group that He was given: He was given so that all, without distinction or exception, who repose their faith on Him, might be rescued from destruction and blessed with the life that is life indeed. The gospel of salvation and life has its source in the love of God. The essence of the saving message is made unmistakeably plain, in language which people of all races, cultures and times can grasp, and so effectively is it set forth in these words that many more, probably, have found the way of life through them than through any other Biblical text."
