How do we know that God's love remains despite our sin?
Answered in 1 source
God's love is unwavering, even in light of our sin, as demonstrated by His continual mercy and the atoning work of Christ.
The assurance of God's love amidst our sinfulness can be found throughout Scripture. Romans 5:8 declares that God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. This act signifies that God's love is not dependent on our righteousness but rather on His grace. Furthermore, believers are reminded in 1 John 1:7 that the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. Hence, despite the reality of indwelling sin and our shortcomings, God's love perseveres, and His grace is abundant. This truth serves to comfort the believer, providing a foundation for hope and perseverance in faith.
