Love isn’t just a feeling; love must be expressed in action. If it isn’t, we won’t have any reason to believe it even exists in someone’s life, no matter how much they claim it does. God’s love is real, and we know it because He demonstrated it to us. He put His love into action. Jesus Christ left the glory of Heaven and came down to this sinful earth to die for us.

“For scarecely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5: 7-8

Satan would have us to doubt God’s love for us. But we can be reminded of these verses, and know that God loves us.

“Herein is love not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” 1 John 4: 10

I’ve heard it said many times, love isn’t love until you give it away.
