How do we know that God's love is specific to His elect?

Answered in 1 source

God's love is demonstrated through the plan of salvation that focuses on His chosen people, not universally on all humanity.

The argument for God's specific love for the elect is grounded in the nature of His omniscience, omnipotence, and unchangeable character. If God were to attempt universal salvation and fail, it would contradict His perfection as wise, powerful, and loving. Rather, Scripture reveals God's sovereign grace, stating in 2 Timothy 1:9 that He saved us and called us according to His own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the ages began. Thus, the love of God is not merely a wish but a definitive and powerful intention demonstrated through the sacrificial work of Christ, who came to seek and save His lost sheep.
