How do we know Paul was persuaded of God's love?

Answered in 1 source

Paul's conviction comes from his personal transformation and understanding of God's nature (Romans 8:38-39).

Paul states that he is persuaded, emphasizing a deep, personal conviction. This persuasion is not merely an intellectual agreement but derives from his transformative encounter with God's grace. In Romans 8:38-39, he asserts, 'I am persuaded that neither death, nor life... shall be able to separate us from the love of God.' His confidence is rooted in the nature of God, who is love itself and immutable, meaning His love cannot change. Paul's personal experiences, coupled with his theological insights, lead him to a profound assurance of God's unbreakable love for the elect in Christ.
