How do we know that Christ loves His followers uniquely?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's unique love for His followers is evidenced by His intimate communion and the special grace granted to those who actively seek Him.

The love of Christ for His followers is not only universal but also differentiated based on their commitment and faithfulness to Him. Those who exhibit humility, seek His presence, and honor Him in their lives are recipients of an extraordinary love. This relationship is characterized by intimate communion, as indicated by the metaphor of leaning on Jesus’ breast, signifying a deep connection with Him. Additionally, when believers engage in active service and uphold their integrity during trials, they demonstrate a faith that attracts Christ's special affection. The biblical examples of figures like Abraham, who exhibited great faith, serve to illustrate that such acts of love and service align believers closer to Christ's heart.
