Jeremiah 33:3

Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving-kindness I have drawn you.

Many people find it difficult to believe that God is love. Some of my Christian friends even doubt it. “Why would a loving God allow suffering and evil in the world?” Admittedly, it is not easy to answer such question. But if you really want to know the reality of God’s love, you should look to the cross.

Divine love makes Christ bear the cross and be deeply ashamed. It is love that keeps Him from being angry when He was accused of committing blasphemy and was brought to Golgotha and was killed along with the criminals. He did not answer back His enemies. It is love that keeps Him from asking His father for thousands of angels to protect Himself.

It is love that makes Him silent while He put hope for a repenting sinner saying, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom." (Luke 23:42)

It is love that makes Jesus shouted and prayed, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” (Luke 23:34) Does God love us? Yes, He does. His love is proven at the cross.

 

The cross is the most real proof that God loves you so much.
