In Craig Groeschel’s book, “Winning the War in Your Mind”, he explains how our minds are often battlegrounds. To win the battle, we need to arm ourselves with God’s Word. He introduces the Replacement Principle, a two-step approach:
Identify the lie.
Replace it with the truth
The truth is found in the Word of God. But how do we combat lies if we don’t know what God says about us? It’s vital to search the scriptures and discover the verses that speak directly to our situations.
This post gathers 20 scriptures about God's love—perfect for when doubts creep in and whisper lies like, “You’re not loved,” or, “God doesn’t care about you.” Replace those lies with the eternal truth: God’s love for you is immense, unwavering, and written in His inspired Word.
Whether you’re feeling distant from God or simply need a reminder of His care, these verses will inspire and uplift you. Read them, meditate on them, save them to your phone, or write them on sticky notes. Let these truths renew your mind and fill your heart with His love.
