God isn't simply interested in saving you; He wants to have a deep and intimate relationship with you and He's inviting you to experience that with Him.

"For God so loved the world that He gave..." – God has always been marked by His generosity. He gives freely to His children so that they, too, might grow in the grace of giving and spring forth with generosity as well.
