How do we know that God's love is the cause for Christ's incarnation?

In the sermon, it is highlighted that the cause of Christ's incarnation is rooted in God's everlasting love for His people. Jeremiah 31:3 states, 'I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.' This love is described as unconditional and personal, moving God to action for the sake of His elect. The sermon emphasizes that this divine initiative was not based on any merit from humanity but flowed from God's character, reinforcing the sovereign grace theology of the Reformed tradition.
