How does God's loving kindness relate to His sovereignty?
Answered in 1 source
God's loving kindness is expressed through His sovereign choices, particularly in the covenant of grace offered to His people.
God's loving kindness is deeply intertwined with His sovereignty, as He exercises His will to choose and save a particular people for Himself. Jeremiah 31:3 beautifully captures this sentiment: 'Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee.' This passage not only illustrates God's love but also displays His initiative in the salvation process, highlighting that it is God who first loved us and who draws us to Him. Such love is not random; it is bound within the context of God's sovereign plan, affirming that His mercies are new every morning and that His faithful love sustains us in all circumstances.
