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

Answered in 2 sources

God's love is specifically directed towards His chosen people, which is confirmed through Scripture that outlines His election and covenant promises.

The doctrine of election is crucial in understanding the specific nature of God's love. God's love is not universal but intentionally directed towards those He has chosen for salvation. This is showcased throughout Scripture, such as in Ephesians 1:4-5, which states that He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world. This love is not based on human decisions but upon God's sovereign will and purpose. It encompasses an everlasting commitment that is expressed through Jesus Christ's redemptive work, which satisfies God’s justice on behalf of the elect (1 John 2:2). Thus, God's love is a foundational aspect of sovereign grace, distinctly applied to His people.
