Christ's unchanging love for His followers is evidenced through His actions and promises in Scripture, such as in John 21 where He restores Peter.
The doctrine of Christ's love is grounded in His unwavering commitment to His people, as shown in passages like John 21:15-17. Jesus, after His resurrection, personally restores Peter, demonstrating the depths of His love and the desire for fellowship with His disciples. Throughout Scripture, we see God’s faithful love highlighted, including the assurance of Christ's intercession for His followers, as seen in John 17:9, where Jesus prays specifically for those whom the Father has given Him. This personal engagement signifies a love that is both profound and purposeful, calling believers to respond with love and service to others in His name.
