How do we know that God's love is not universal?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture shows that God's love is particular and directed towards His elect, not universal for all men.

The Bible clearly indicates that God's love is particular to His chosen people, as demonstrated in Jeremiah 31:3 where His love is shown to be everlasting. This sovereign love contrasts with a universal love that would imply equal affection for all, including those who are not saved, like Judas or Esau. Understanding God's love as expressed only in Christ strengthens our view of salvation, as it's bestowed upon those chosen by God.
