How do we know God's love is for His chosen people?

Answered in 2 sources

Scripture shows that God's love is selective and tied to His will, as seen in Ephesians 1, where He chose His people before the foundation of the world.

The love of God is evident in His choice to set aside a people for Himself before creation. Ephesians 1:4-5 emphasizes that God chose believers in Christ for adoption, showcasing His intentional and sovereign love. This love is not arbitrary or based on human merit but is rooted in God's immutable character and divine wisdom. Furthermore, the distinction between Jacob and Esau serves as a biblical example of God's sovereign preference, illustrating that God's love can be exclusive. The consistent teaching of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation supports the view that His affection is particularly directed toward the elect, affirming the doctrine of election.
