How do we know God's love is only found in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

God's love is uniquely expressed in Jesus Christ, who embodies the grace needed for salvation.

The Bible teaches that God's love is distinctly connected to the person and work of Jesus Christ. While it is true that God is love, His love is fully realized through Christ, the means by which He saves sinners. Outside of Christ, people experience God's wrath because, in their sin, they stand condemned. The apostle Paul emphasizes this in Romans 4, where it is revealed that salvation is by grace through faith in Christ. This means that one cannot approach God on their own merit; they must come through Jesus, who serves as their representative and the embodiment of God's mercy. Thus, God's love without Christ cannot lead to true salvation, as it is through Christ's sacrifice that God can be just while justifying the sinner.
