1 John 4:19 "We love because he first loved us."
(He loved us before He created us and when we were created, and we were made capable to love or not to love because of the free will He gave us.)
How about 1 John? 1 John 4:9-10 "This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we love God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins."
(He loved us after the fall also.)
Romans 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
(Nothing can separate us from his love.)
The Old Testament has quite a few verses speaking of his unfailing love. See Psalms and other books of the bible.
Plenty of more verses in there not directly spoken from Christ (and he's no idiot...even those religions who do not agree with Christianity consider him to be a good teacher at least) but definitely inspired.

So you're looking for a direct quote from God, in the Old Testament, not written by an idiot, saying He loves you.
If you reject His Word why do you care?

Reading what you wrote I think that you are not asking a question but you are just tell us an your opinion.
I don't think you can accept any answers, or not? Especially if you say that Jesus Christ was an ".....", excuse me but I cannot write the word you used.
Is clear that you don't respect other people thoughts so why people are supposed to respect yours?
But you can be sure that God loves you too.

Rather than asking for the obvious, why not ask something deeper?
Like,
"why did God love His people so much that He prospered them, brought them out of bondage, from Eygpt to Israel, and eveyrtime they sinned and repent, He will forgive them and love them, and even in captivity in Babylon, He told them of His plans to give them a future and a hope, and even gave His only begotten Son Jesus to cleanse us of our sins with His Blood, that whoever comes to Him for forgiviness will be saved?"
And no,there werent any idiots involved in writing the Bible, where are ur manners?

Excuse you ... who are you calling an idiot. If you're referring to Jesus, you are the idiot. Jesus never did anything harm to anyone, ever. He only came to save a "dying and lost" world. He came to redeem us. You know I don't know why God loves us but for you it's good He does ... because you are cruel and sick. I pray that God will help you.

You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments.

Because the opposite would be terrible.
It's all about faith, it has to be when it comes to God. If we can't be sure about what exactly God is, we have to make our own choices. And I choose to believe in a god that loves me and wish me good. I can't imagine anything else.

What is your question really? Either you believe God loves you or you don't nothing I can say is going to sway you one way or the other.

"God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16). Im part of the world....John 13:34,35 [Jesus said] A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; AS I HAVE LOVED YOU, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another. John 17:23:
I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
Christ is in me – and God loves me as much as he loves Christ. And no way can God’s love for Christ be half-hearted.!

If you need something from the Bible, For one reason, God loves me because I'm a Cheerful Giver!!
2 Corinthians 9:6,7 But this [is true], he that sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that sows in [the spirit of] blessing shall reap also in blessing:
each according as he is purposed in his heart; not grievingly, or of necessity; for God LOVES a cheerful giver.
Hey you asked "Does it say it in the bible ANYWHERE?"
