How do we know God's love is sovereignly dispensed?

Answered in 1 source

The sovereignty of God's love is demonstrated in scripture, showing it is given according to His will, not human merit.

The concept of God's sovereign love is articulated in Romans 9:13, where God declares His love for Jacob and His hatred for Esau. This scripture illuminates that God's action is not arbitrary but deeply rooted in His eternal purpose. God's love operates outside the confines of human free will, underscoring that His decisions are based solely on His divine purpose. If we fail to recognize this truth, we risk skewing our understanding of God’s character and the relationship He has with humanity. Furthermore, scriptures that speak of God's election, such as Ephesians 1:4-5, substantiate the idea that His love is specially directed towards those He has chosen before the foundation of the world.
