Perhaps the most important question in the minds of many people is the question of God’s love. In Romans 8:33-39, a parade of resistance lines up to “separate us from the love of God.” Jude urges us to build ourselves up by prayer, keeping ourselves in the love of God (vv. 20-21). Paul asserts, “We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Rom. 8:37). Nothing derails prayer or wounds faith like doubts about God’s love.

God most clearly manifested the depth of His love for us on the cross. Jesus, who eternally existed in the form of God, emptied Himself and came to earth in the likeness of man. As a servant, He remained obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. That’s how deep the love of God is for you. Jesus willingly died in your place. (See John 3:16)
