God proved His love for us as outlined in John 3:16 "God so loved the world that He sent His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life" ... but the obvious question is how did Jesus Christ's death prove God's love for us

God's character is like a coin with two sides : justice and love. His justice rightly condemns us because sin must be punished. His love makes Him long for us to become His friends again. On the cross, His justice and His love were perfectly satisfied.. Sin had to be punished, so God in his love sent His Son Jesus Christ, to die in our place, bearing the death penalty our sins deserved. The full punishment for our sin was taken by Jesus. He "carried the can for everybody" and He suffered the agony of being cut off from His Father for us.

Just before He died Jesus said "It is finished !". This was a cry of victory, "I've done it ! The debt of man's sin is paid"

The way back to God is now open

His work of saving you from hell and eternal destruction is finished. The barrier of sin has been blasted away. Jesus died for us, his body was put in the tomb and a great stone pushed across the entrance. But He rose from the grave - He is alive. He won the victory over sin and death

The way back to God is now wide open.
