God loved us enough to send Jesus to Earth to die for our sins. We've often heard this truth quoted from John 3 16.
When we become Christians (Acts 2 38), that is a different kind of love we are entering into than that of John 3 16. To paraphrase the Christian contemporary song, we were once Jesus' enemies, but at the moment of salvation, we are now seated at His table.
Appreciating Jesus' love and receiving the offered gift of salvation by His blood is what transforms our status from eternally damned enemies of the Creator of the universe to His true friends and Him, in our eyes, from our enemy to our loving Heavenly Father and a friend that sticks closer than a brother.
