Christ's love is validated through His sacrificial death and Holy Word, assuring believers of their standing before Him.
The assurance of Christ's love comes from His sacrificial actions and the promises contained in His Word. John 15:13 states, 'Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends,' illustrating that Christ's willingness to die demonstrates the depth of His love. When believers encounter His Word and see promises that resonate with their hearts, it acts as a confirmation of His ongoing affection and engagement with them, thereby solidifying their confidence in His love.
