How do we know the love of God is true?

Answered in 9 sources

God's love is demonstrated in John 3:16, where He gave His Son for the salvation of mankind, showing both His compassion and the offer of eternal life to believers.

The love of God is deeply affirmed in Scripture, particularly in John 3:16, which states, 'For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.' This illustrates that God's love is not merely an abstract concept but is manifest in a concrete action—sending Christ as a Savior for sinners. While God's love encompasses a universal compassion for humanity, it is also particularly directed to those who believe. The offer of salvation through Christ showcases a love that seeks the restoration of humanity. However, this love is also coupled with divine justice; it is crucial to understand that rejecting this love leads to perdition. Thus, the truth of God’s love is both profound and redemptive, encompassing His desire for all men to be saved while recognizing the necessity of faith in Christ.
