We know God's love is real because it is manifested in Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and offers us eternal life (1 John 4:9-10).
The authenticity of God's love is demonstrated in its tangible and sacrificial nature, particularly in the sending of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. As stated in 1 John 4:9-10, God manifested His love by sending Christ into the world to be the propitiation for our sins. This not only provides evidence of God’s love but also shows the depth of His commitment to redeeming mankind from sin. We experience and know this love in our lives as believers, as it transforms our hearts and compels us to love one another (1 John 4:11).
