Verse 23 The ultimate display of love
Romans 5:8
but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

John 3:16
For God So Loved the World
16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
1 John 4:10
In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

So how does God show that He loves us. Is it by giving us good health, a long life. A loving family and a huge social circle. A thriving business or a bulging bank balance. You can continue that list on and on. What we think is signs of His love is nothing compared to the gift of His Son, and the forgiveness of sins from it. Eternally nothing we have from God compares to it. So in the words of Paul,
2 Corinthians 9:15
Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!
