"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with all you heart." Jeremiah 29:11-14
He shows His love for us everyday---if you seek a personal relationship with Christ--He will surely reveal Himself to you. He loves us enough to send His Son to die for our sins.

Well, He does, cos we are part of the world. The world is us, we humans. And when u accept God, u have this constant feeling of peace and love. Its as if, before u knew God, u used to be empty or that something was missing in ur life and then, when u accept God, when u find God, you fill up with a certain feeling and your soul just knows its God and that he loves u. U feel whole.
(when u lose that feeling, when u drift away from God, u constantly feel like something is wrong and that u are deeply unhappy)
Its very hard to describe.
Then there is also the good things that happen to u. I mean, most things u do, if you pray and so on, most of them go the way u planed. And if something doesn't go the way u planed, ur a bit misted at first and maybe unhappy with God or urself, but when you stand back a little and look at every thing from a distance u see that it all makes sense. With Him by ur side, every thing works out in the end, no matter how bad things look at the start.
The main reason that you know that God loves you is that He tells u in th Bible. And the way he reacts and is towards us humans in the Bible. Sometimes he gets angry, but for a reason, and when the people honour him through their actions and are good, they get blessed and God is like a friend and a father towards them.
But even if u dont feel sure, God does love u, he loves every one, no matter how good or bad cos he created every one and He wants people to find Him, to be happy and to protect them.

This is a good question.
I have two young children and I love them dearly and they know it and love me in return. But how do they know it? If you were to ask them, you would probably get the usual kid responses based on what I do for them or some fun outing I arranged. But when you really press the issue, they love me because I am their dad, and I love them because they are my kids--there is really no other way to explain it.
This is why the parable of the Prodigal Son that Jesus spoke is so important. It shows the heart of God longing for the return of His son. When the prodigal son was still a long way off in his journey back, the father runs to meet and embrace him. It is the only time in scripture where God is portrayed as being in a hurry.
From my 35 years of reading the Bible, the above only scratches the surface of His love for me. Like my kids trying to express thier love for me, it is difficult for me to explain as well. When you accept Jesus as Lord and savior, something incredible happens. Your concept and relationship with God totally changes. He is no longer "out there", He is "inside my heart"! How can I put that in to words?
There is also one more thing to remember. Our acceptance or rejection of Him is totally by choice. True love is never coerced or forced upon the individual. Free will must be high on the list of priorities--else it is not love, it is bondage.

Yes the bible say God so love the world. meaning everyone in it. I know that God loves me because he said it in his word which is the holy bible and God does not and cannot lie. He loved us so much that he sent his only begotten son to die that horrible death on the cross and pay our penalty which was death.
The bible says that God is love . You can see it in our every day life that God truly loves us because so many times we fail him and disappoint him and he is there to welcome us with open arms into his fold again . He also bestow all his mercies upon us and also benefits eg. life and much more that we truly does not deserve.
There are so many evidence around us that prove that God loves you and its up to you now to believe on his word and his promise and trust it. May God Bless.

Does God Loves us?
That's the reason this world is moving all the activities are going on. That is the reason we get rains with which we get food grains
he loves us that is the reason we breathe, we drink and we eat.
that is the reason he feeds even those who does not believe on him in the right manner.
that is the reason he gives us chances to know him by showing his signs of existence. He loves us that is the reason he Say's "say and believe I'm the on and only one god in this universe" before you die and take paradise as a gift.
He loves us all....we should pay him back by pleasing him.
My he show us all the right path....Ameen...

Because I am part of the world, a sinner and a saint through the love of Christ. I am also a follower of Christ's love and promise that we are all to be saved as long as we love and show this love to one another but above all to God. So God loves me since I am part of the World that He sent his only Son to save.
God loved me so that he made me in His image, sent his only son and watched him die for us. He loved me so that he keeps me fed, loved by others and humble enough to know that even if I am missing on the necesities of life, I still love him and He still loves me.God bless you always.

God loves all unconditionally. God gave us unfastened will understanding finished nicely that anybody persons could use that unfastened will to chop up ourselves from the infinite. So why could God stop loving us if we are in simple terms workout the unfastened will that "he" gave to us in the 1st place. God hopes all us will make a extra useful determination and seek for oneness with God particularly than separation regardless of the undeniable fact that it continues to be our unfastened will to not seek for this oneness. in certainty we are all extensions of the infinite, yet we could continuously understand that interior of ourselves in the previous it quite is a show up certainty in our beings. additionally there is quite little distinction between Christians and Atheists. the two deny God. Atheists deny God exists in any respect on an identical time as Christians deny God lives interior of themselves. They try this despite the fact that Jesus suggested that the dominion of God is interior of you.

I was taught at school that the world only exists, because God wants it to be and that, that is evidence that God loves us - If God didn't love us, we would cease to exist.

Because the Bible says so. And we know that the Bible is true because the Bible says it is... we know this because God says in the Bible that it is true.
Hooray for circular reasoning.
