Christian Main article: Love of God (Christianity) See also: Love of Christ The Old Testament uses a rich vocabulary to express the love of God, as a concept that appears in many instances.[12] However, the exegesis of the love of God in the Old Testament has presented problems for modern scholars.[13] The love of God appears in a number of texts (e.g. Hosea 1-3, and then in Ezek 16 and Isa 62) but resolving the references to produce a consistent interpretation has been challenging and subject to debate.[13] Both the terms love of God and love of Christ appear in the New Testament. In cases such as in Romans 8:35 and Romans 8:39 their use is related in the experience of the believer, without asserting their equality.[14] In John 14:31 Jesus expresses his love for God the Father.[15] This verse includes the only direct statement by Jesus in the New Testament about Jesus love for God the Father.[15]
