How do we know that God's love is personal?

Answered in 1 source

God’s love is personal, as illustrated by His relationship with individuals rather than being a mere abstract concept.

God's love is deeply personal and individualistic, as seen in the way He interacts with His people throughout scripture. In Galatians 2:20, Paul emphasizes that Jesus loved him and gave Himself for him, portraying a love that is unique to each believer. Hosea's purchase of Gomer illustrates this idea: God’s love is not a blanket affection for everyone, but rather, He loves specific individuals, and each person has an indicted relationship with Him. This is further underlined by Christ's declaration of laying down His life for His sheep, indicating a selective and intentional love for those whom He calls His own. Therefore, the love of God is not merely a general sentiment but a powerful, personal commitment to each member of His church, reminding us that redemption comes with ownership and belonging.
