Why did God create? Was their some lack in God that moved Him to create the universe and man in it? Was God lonely? We can't fully answer these questions, but we can look into the Bible for clues to their answer.
1 John 4:8 says that God is love. John 3:16 says that "...God so loved the world He gave..." The nature of love is to give. It is "other" centered. It focuses on another. Read 1 Cor. 13 for confirmation of this. That is why God gave His Son. That is why, I believe, that God created us: to love us, to give to us Himself which is the very best thing in the universe. But sin entered the picture and God, in His loving mercy, sent His Son into the world to save the world.
Love is not a doctrine, it is an experience, an action. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve walked with God. They actually walked with the creator of the universe. They had fellowship with Him. Fellowship is an intimate communion between two or more persons. Adam and Eve had this intimate communion with the Lord. But when they sinned that fellowship was broken. God then shed blood, by killing an animal to get the skins, and covered Adam and Eve. Incidentally, Jesus said in John 6:46 that no one has ever seen the Father. If Adam and Eve were walking with God in the Garden of Eden, but it wasn't the Father, then who was it. It must have been Jesus.
So God sought Adam and Eve, remember they hid themselves from Him. In Exodus 25:8, God told the Israelites to build a sanctuary so that He might dwell among His people. In John 1:14, Jesus, God in flesh, dwelt again among His people. In 1 Cor. 1:9 we are called by God to be in fellowship with Jesus. In these statements are profound clues. We are called to have a personal relationship, the way it was in the Garden of Eden, with Jesus. This can only be done through Jesus.
Additionally, the word for ‘fellowship' in the Greek is the same word used for ‘communion.' When we partake of communion, we are partaking in fellowship with the Lord. Communion is a covenantal sign of the promise of God to give us eternal life and it is representative in that sense of God's promises to be with His people. But the real communion, the real fellowship with the Lord, is through the indwelling Holy Spirit who always bears witness of Jesus (John 15:26). Therefore, the Christian, the true Christian, will have an intimate and real personal relationship with the Lord Jesus.
The cultist cannot have this intimate and personal relationship with Jesus. First, because their Jesus is false (Matt. 24:24). Second, because their Jesus is not prayed to the way the Jesus of the Bible is (Zech. 13:9 with 1 Cor. 1:1-2; Acts 7:55-60); third, because their Jesus is not worshiped equally with the Father (John 5:22-23; Matt. 2:2,11; 14:33; 28:9; John 9:35-38; Heb. 1:6); and fourth, because their Jesus is not their Lord and God (John 20:28; Heb. 1:8).
The Jesus of the cultist is not God (he might be one god among many, or he might be a lesser god). Therefore, he is not to be sought in a personal and intimate way.
The Christian, on the other hand, has a real relationship with the real Lord Jesus. This is accomplished only through the real Jesus. The Jesus of the Bible.
To be a Christian is to experience the Lord, to have a sweet and real fellowship with Jesus, to be able to pray to Him, and seek Him.
"God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son,
Jesus Christ our Lord" (1 Cor. 1:9).

I truly believe with all my heart that God loves us and also accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior. I just don't understand that why so many people hate him still and want to crucify him again when they already killed Him. They think everyone goes to heaven when they do not know the way there and that is thru Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. They are like roaring lions on this earth and they bark at Christians for their own miserable reasons.

More than I can think.
He created the world of creation and the world of revelation.
He sends to earth innumerable Divine Educators who teach men to build an ever-advancing civilization. In the Adamic Cycle, we have Abraham, Moses, Zoroaster, Krishna, Buddha, Christ, Muhammad, The Bab, Baha'u'llah. His love is not only for me, but for all mankind.
Yes, let us turn to the One True God in love and unity before it is too late.

Why should God loves me? I have not done any favor to him. If really he loves me similarly he loves others? Then what is the difference? If some people donot believe the god , the God should be blammed for not giving a good thinking power to those human beings.

He loves us as much as He loves His own son Jesus. Nothing we do or say can make him love us more!
I don't think we truly can understand until we are with Him and can see things from His point of view.

Human life is the precious gift given to us by the God as we r the most intelligent beings on this vast planet.One must not think how much is god loving us.To know God one must thoroughly study his religion.Then he will come to know about god.All religions say that paths are different but the destiny is same.So please try to learn about ur own religion and then think about god.

So If I loved others the way God loves me, then I would allow people to do horrid things to them, not prevent hazards that I could stop, have a bunch of people that like me call them names, and tell them they are going to burn forever if they do not love me back.

Nope, god does not love you. God is incapable of love since god does not exist. Tell me i am damned to hell and i will say, there is no hell. Tell me you will pray for me and i will tell you to save your breath for yourself. Tell me im a sinner, i'll tell you you're one too, but my life is easier cause i live my life for me and not for an invisible parent figure.

No God does not love me. God does not exist. You are delusional.

If God loves everyone, threats should not be necessary.
