How do we know Jesus' love is genuine?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' love is demonstrated through His willingness to sacrifice Himself for His people, as seen in His interaction with Lazarus.

The genuineness of Jesus' love is evidenced not only in His compassion for Lazarus but also in His ultimate sacrifice on the cross for His people. In John 11, we see Jesus express love by delaying His response to Lazarus' sickness, which ultimately serves to amplify the revelation of His divine power and love through resurrection. This act illustrates that Jesus’ love is not merely emotional; it is active and purposeful, aiming for the glory of God. Furthermore, the narrative connects His love with the larger plan of redemption, showcasing that His love is rooted in divine sovereignty and is intimately tied to His mission to save His chosen people.
