How do we know God's love for sinners is particular?

Answered in 1 source

We know God's love is particular because it is revealed through the specific provision of Christ for those He has chosen.

God's love is described as particular due to both its objects—the elect—and its provision through Christ. In 1 John 4:10, it states that God sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins, indicating that His love was directed towards specific individuals rather than humanity at large. This affirms that Christ's work was not to make salvation merely possible but to accomplish the salvation of those He came to redeem. This particularity is essential to understand the depths of God's love, which is not generalized but specifically bestowed upon those who are in Christ (Romans 4:23-25). Recognizing this distinction helps believers appreciate the nature of God’s love as unwavering and effectual for the intended recipients.
