POP 394 - The Ultimate Proof

Tony Ingrassia
About this episode

This world is very broken.

Every person is very broken, and this is why we need a Savior.

This world has a way of beating people up.

There's hurt, pain, confusion, depression, difficulty and hardship in every person's life.

It just looks different for each of us at different times of our lives.

There's an ebb and a flow.

When the going gets a little bit tough (or a lot tough), and it seems like things are really hard, we may sometimes be tempted to struggle with questions about God's love.

Does God really love me?

Does God really care?

If God really loved me, why is he allowing this difficult situation in my life?

Why doesn't God do something about this?

In this episode Tony explores the question of God's love.

How can we really know for sure that God loves us, even when we're going through something really difficult in our life?

How do I know that God really loves me, even if I'm struggling with a weakness, or even if I've been acting out in a sinful way.

What's the ultimate proof of God's love?

There is an ultimate proof, and if you understand this one thing you'll always have the sure confidence of God's love for you, regardless of what's happening in your life.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  John 3:16

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.  Romans 5:8
