How do we know that God loves us in our trials?

The sermon addresses the profound truth of God's love as it is revealed through challenges and trials. Believers are reassured that God's love is not contingent on their own worthiness, but rather is an unmerited gift. As stated in 1 John 4:10, 'Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us.' This love is often evident in the trials we endure, which serve to deepen our faith and reliance on Him. When God allows us to face hardships, He does so with the intent of revealing our need for Him and drawing us closer to His heart.
