How to Say "Jesus Loves You" in Spanish

Jesús te ama

/xesus te ama/from spelling rules

The English phrase "Jesus loves you" is translated into Spanish as Jesús te ama.

This religious statement is used to convey that Jesus Christ cares for an individual with divine love.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase is composed of the subject Jesús, the direct object pronoun te (you) and the verb ama (loves).

You may use Jesús lo ama to address a single person formally or Jesús los ama when addressing a group of people.

If you are addressing a group of people, use Jesús los ama.

In many Spanish-speaking cultures, Jesús is used as a first given name for men, a practice that is rare in other historically Christian societies.
If you were to use the word ama in a different context, such as calling someone an ama, you would be referring to an old-fashioned term for a wetnurse.
