How do we know Christ's love for sinners is true?

Answered in 3 sources

Christ's love for sinners is demonstrated through His compassion, as seen when He looked upon the rich young ruler with love despite his shortcomings.

The love of Christ towards sinners is a profound truth in Scripture, as highlighted in the account of the rich young ruler. In Mark's narrative, Jesus 'beholding him loved him,' showcasing His deep compassion for those caught in spiritual ignorance and sin. This love is not reserved for the righteous alone; it extends to all who are lost, irrespective of their unworthiness. Ryle emphasizes that Jesus feels a distinguishing love for those who follow Him but likewise possesses an abundant pity for the faithless and impenitent. His heart yearns to save, and He offers salvation to all, illustrating that salvation is available to even the chief of sinners if they are willing to come to Him. This reflects the heart of the Gospel, where the love of Christ stands at the forefront of God's redemptive plan.
