Why Would God Love Me?

Oct 11, 2026  •  Pastor Dan Buchert

What if the biggest obstacle standing between us and a deeper relationship with God is not our circumstances, but our own distorted view of how much He actually loves us? This message cuts right to the heart of a question many of us quietly wrestle with: why would God love someone like me? Whether we feel disqualified by our past mistakes or lost in the crowd of 8 billion people on this planet, these doubts quietly erode our ability to trust God fully. We explore how even towering biblical figures like Job, Paul, Moses, and David struggled with feelings of unworthiness and insignificance, reminding us that this is not a modern problem but a deeply human one. The real tension is not between what we know in our heads and what the world tells us, but between what we know theologically and what we have actually allowed to take root in our hearts. When we understand that God is not merely loving but is love itself as a core character trait, everything changes. This is a message that invites us to stop mouthing the words and start opening our hearts to a love that has already been declared over us.
