Does the Bible actually say God loves us individually and if so where?

Answer 1

I would say that John 3:16 certainly implies that God loves everyone individually. It literally says "the world," which in the original Greek is "ton kosmon," where we get the word cosmos. This includes not just the world, but also everything in it. Should this fail to suffice, I would turn to 1 John 4:10 - "In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins." The first person plural pronoun "us" would certainly indicate that God loves everyone individually. Extra-biblically, I would point the fact that anything exists at all as proof of God's goodness and love. A God that did not love, indeed was not love, would not create anything other than God's self.
