Why is the cross significant in understanding God's love?

Answered in 1 source

The cross represents the ultimate expression of God's love, showcasing His sacrifice for humanity's redemption.

The significance of the cross in understanding God's love cannot be overemphasized, as it is the focal point of His redemptive plan. John MacDuff emphasizes that the cross is the only mode through which God reveals His heart to humanity. It represents an act of infinite love where God the Father laid down His Son, a depiction of love that is both sacrificial and selfless.

At the cross, divine love confronted human rebellion and sin; while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). This demonstration of love is unmatched in human history and serves as the definitive proof of God's character—God is love (1 John 4:8). The agony of the cross was not merely a physical suffering but a profound manifestation of love laboring to express itself. Without the cross, the boundless ocean of God's love would remain hidden; it is through this event that we catch a glimpse of His profound yearning to communicate His love and grace to us.
