How do we know the love of God is not universal?

Answered in 1 source

The love of God is specific and directed toward His elect, as shown in Scripture where He distinguishes between individuals like Jacob and Esau.

Scripture clearly indicates that God's love is not universal; it is particular and sovereign. The examples of Jacob and Esau in Romans 9 illustrate that God loves His elect in a distinct and special way. Additionally, in Jeremiah 31:3, God declares His everlasting love specifically toward His chosen people. This view of God’s love emphasizes that His salvific love is not extended to everyone equally but is demonstrated in His purpose to save His people through Christ.
