What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not withhold his own Son, but gave him up for all of us, will he not with him also give us everything else? Who will bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? It is Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered."

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:31-39

The only reliable way to know that God loves us is to consider everything He does for us each day. And if there is still any doubt, think of what He did to save us! The Bible tells us that, "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

We can be confident of God's unfailing love because He has proven it beyond all question. Yes, His love is a sure thing.

God loves each one of us as if there were but one of us to love.
