God's love is demonstrated through Christ's sacrificial death for His elect, affirming its truth.
We can trust in the truth of God's love for His people because it is vividly demonstrated in the sacrificial act of Christ on the cross. The Apostle Paul states, 'But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us' (Romans 5:8). This radical act of love shows that God’s commitment transcends human understanding—it is not just love for the righteous or worthy, but for those who are by nature enemies of God. Furthermore, this commitment is unparalleled, as it is rare for one to die for a good person, yet Christ willingly died for those who rejected Him, showcasing the depth of His love and the certainty of His promises for His elect.
