The Answerer

“Yes!” very much so, but not the same way that humans love certain humans. God’s love is for “…his only begotten Son,” and the whole human race. He created them to be His family in heaven.

God’s love for His son, Jesus, is mentioned at the baptism of Jesus, and at the transfiguration. He said of Jesus: “…my Son whom I love, listen to Him.” (Mt 3:17, and Mt.17:5 and Mk.8:7) Jesus spoke of himself in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.”

In love, yes, but different to how we love.
