How does Jesus' sacrifice show His love?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' sacrifice exemplifies His love in that He willingly endured suffering for the redemption of sinners.

The nature of Christ's sacrificial love is demonstrated in His willingness to go to the cross, knowing that it was necessary for the salvation of His people. In the sermon, it is pointed out that Jesus' refusal to save Himself was a manifestation of His love, as He chose to bear the full weight of God’s wrath on our behalf. Romans 5:8 reveals this truth, stating, 'But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.' His sacrificial act is the highest expression of love, showing that He was willing to take upon Himself the judgment and punishment that we deserved. This selfless act unites believers with Him and assures them of their secured position as children of God.
