For this is how God loved the world: He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life – John 3:16 NLT
Not only Jesus – But as well
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? – Rom 8:31-32
The Lord bestows grace and favor and honor; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly – Ps 84:11b AMP
All this means – We owe God best
But the king replied to Araunah, “No, I insist on buying it, for I will not present burnt offerings to the Lord my God that have cost me nothing.” – 2Sam 24:24a NLT
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind – Matt 22:37b
“A man loaned money to two people – 500 pieces of silver to one and 50 pieces to the other. But neither of them could repay him, so he kindly forgave them both, canceling their debts. Who do you suppose loved him more after that?” Simon (the Pharisee) answered, “I suppose the one for whom he canceled the larger debt.” “That’s right,” Jesus said. – Luke 7:41b-43 NLT
