How do we know the love of God is saving love?

Answered in 1 source

The love of God is revealed as saving love through Christ's sacrifice, ensuring that those He loves will be saved.

The love of God is unique in its saving quality. Ephesians 2:4-5 declares that God, rich in mercy, loved us even when we were dead in our sins. This saving love is not merely a general affection; it is effective and results in the salvation of those whom God has chosen. This concept counters the idea that God's love is hypothetical or contingent upon human action. Instead, God's love is a sovereign act that guarantees salvation. Those who are recipients of this love will inevitably be saved, demonstrating that divine love is both transformative and redemptive.
