How do we know God's love for us is true?

Answered in 60 sources

We know God's love for us is true because the Bible explicitly declares it through His actions, especially in Christ's sacrificial death for our sins.

The truth of God's love for humanity is solidified through numerous declarations in Scripture, notably Romans 5:8, which states, 'But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.' This sacrificial act on the cross validates the depth and reality of God's love. Additionally, the teachings of love throughout the Bible reveal God's character as inherently loving (1 John 4:8). His love is also evident in the experiences of believers, who, through the Holy Spirit, bear witness to this love in their hearts (Romans 5:5). Thus, our knowledge of God's love is not only confirmed through biblical teaching but also through personal experience and transformation as we live out our faith.
