"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends" (John 15:13)
God has shown love and good will toward all in that Jesus sacrificed his life to save us. This is the highest form of good that we can conceive of. To actually give one's life for the good of another, how can there be a greater expression of love? And remember, it was toward you and I that this good will was expressed. There are many ways people bring the goodness of God into question: If God is good why is there evil? If God is good why do good people suffer?
These questions are juxtaposed against the truth that God so loved the world that Christ died for our sins to bring us into the eternal blessing of God. If God is not good, why did Jesus pay the price for our guilt and evil? The cross of Christ once and for all answers the question "Is God good?" Jesus has demonstrated sacrificial love toward you!
"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
