How do we know God’s love leads to salvation?

In Galatians 4:9, Paul draws our attention to a profound truth: our being known by God is a revelation of His love. This divine love effects salvation, as God knows each of His chosen people intimately and works to reconcile them through Jesus Christ. As Paul affirms, it is not that we knew God first; rather, He knew us and orchestrated our redemption. The assurance of salvation comes from understanding that God's love does not leave us in our sins but instead leads us toward repentance and faith in Christ, who bore our sins and brought us into a relationship with the Father.
