God's love is communicated to us through Scripture, which assures us of His individual love for the elect.
The depth of God's love towards individuals is vividly depicted in the affirmation, 'I have loved you with an everlasting love.' This expresses that God's infinite love is not an abstract concept but a personal reality for each member of the elect. The doctrine of election, a key component of Reformed theology, affirms that God's love extends to millions, each being personally and individually loved as if that love were directed towards them alone. This is rooted in the very essence of the Triune God, whose love flowed outward toward humanity, ultimately culminating in the incarnation of Christ, who assumed human nature to express this love fully.
