How do we know God's love is the cause of our redemption?

Answered in 1 source

God's love is demonstrated as the cause of our redemption through His actions in scripture, particularly in John 3:16.

The cause of our redemption is intimately connected to God's everlasting love for His elect. John 3:16 emphasizes this profound truth: 'For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son.' This love is not a vague feeling but is demonstrated through the sacrificial offering of Christ for our sins, indicating that He was given as our Redeemer long before His advent. Romans 5:6-8 further illustrates how God's love is active and personal, describing how Christ died for the ungodly, showcasing the unmerited love He has for us. Our understanding of redemption begins with the recognition that it springs from divine love, which precedes and undergirds our salvation.
