How can I be assured of God's love for me?

Assurance of God's love comes through faith in Jesus Christ, for He is identified as the propitiation for our sins according to 1 John 4:10. To be assured of God's love, one must stand firmly upon the promise that God loves His people in Christ. God's love is not a vague sentiment but a committed action demonstrated through the sacrificial death of Christ. The assurance lies in the understanding that if you believe in Jesus, you are secured in that love and can find comfort and confidence in your relationship with God, knowing that His love never changes and is eternally directed towards His elect.
