How do we know that God's love is fundamental to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's love is essential to salvation as it is the basis for our redemption and relationship with Him.

In 1 John 4:19, it is written, 'We love because He first loved us.' This indicates that God's love initiates our ability to love and is intrinsic to the salvation narrative. Without love, there is no basis for redemption, forgiveness, or even the new birth, as emphasized in the sermon. The love of God is what draws us to salvation and sustains us throughout our Christian journey. It forms the bedrock of our faith and helps us to understand our identity in Christ, illustrating the central role of love in the covenant of grace.
