In Ephesians 2:10, God calls us His workmanship and in Greek, that word translated means poetry. And in John 15:9, Jesus reminds you: As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Truly, the love that God shows you is real. God told us in John 15:13, “Greater love has no one than this…” And then he mentioned His Son.
