No less a person than God is needed to assure us of God’s love.

From 1 John 4:9-10:  “God’s love was revealed among us in this way:  God sent His only Son into the world so that we might live through Him.  In this is love, not that we loved God but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.”

Richard Sibbes (1577-1635) was an Anglican theologian and a Calvanist.
