How do we know that Christ loves His church?

Answered in 5 sources

Christ's love for His church is evidenced by His sacrificial act of redemption and the establishment of a faithful relationship.

The love of Christ for His church is vividly illustrated through His self-sacrifice and the relational dynamics presented in Scripture. He willingly laid down His life for His bride, satisfying God's justice and upholding the law on their behalf. As depicted in Ephesians 1, Jesus was chosen by the Father to be the perfect bridegroom, giving His life to redeem His people—those who naturally stray from Him, akin to Gomer’s unfaithfulness in the book of Hosea. This abiding relationship emphasizes that His love is not contingent upon our worthiness but flows from His grace and mercy, assuring us that He treasures and cherishes His church.
