How do we know God's love is effective for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

We know God's love is effective for salvation because it is rooted in His sovereign will and is tied to Christ's atoning work.

The effectiveness of God's love in the context of salvation can be understood through several key scriptures that affirm His sovereign and predestinating love. Ephesians 1:4-5 speaks to how God has chosen His people before the foundation of the world and predestined them for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ. This indicates that His love is not just an expression but actively results in our salvation. Furthermore, the love of God, as articulated in Romans 8:31-32, assures believers that if God is for us in His love, no one can stand against us. This powerful affirmation reassures us that the same love that initiated our salvation will not allow us to be lost. Hence, we can confidently rely on this love, which fulfills the promise of eternal security for all whom God loves and saves.
