We know the love of Christ through personal experience and the testimony of Scripture, which reveals the depth of His commitment to us.
The love of Christ is attested to in various Scripture passages and through the personal experiences of believers. As one ascends in their spiritual journey, they encounter greater revelations of this love, akin to viewing a wider landscape from a mountain peak. Each experience and trial serve to deepen this understanding, emphasizing that Christ's love is not only profound but also surpasses knowledge itself. Ultimately, believers, like Paul in his later years, come to a more comprehensive awareness of Christ's unwavering dedication to them, which is richly documented in the narratives of the New Testament.
