How does God's love for us relate to our eternal security?
Answered in 1 source
God's love assures our eternal security, as evidenced by Christ's sacrifice and His faithful intercession on our behalf.
The love of God towards His children is a cornerstone of Reformed theology, which teaches that this love results in eternal security for believers. In John 17:24, Jesus expresses His desire for those given to Him by the Father to be with Him to see His glory, underscoring the intimate relationship that believers share with Christ. This love is not based on human merit but is given freely by God's grace. Therefore, the assurance of salvation stems from God's unchanging love and continual intercession for His people, which signifies that nothing can separate them from that love (Romans 8:38-39).
