Christ's love is proven by His willingness to give Himself for His bride, even when we were unlovable.
The assurance of Christ's love is anchored in the Gospel, specifically the sacrifice He made for us. As seen in Ephesians 5:25-27, Christ loved His church and gave Himself for her, demonstrating His commitment even amidst our sinful nature. Just as Samson's love for Delilah culminated in his sacrifice, Christ's love culminated in His death on the cross, where He bore our sins, exemplifying the depth of His affection for humanity. This sacrificial act reveals not merely a sentiment but a profound commitment to redeem those who are, by nature, weak and feeble. Understanding this helps us grasp the nature of God's love: it is unconditional, initiated by Him, and transformative for those who receive it.
