How does the love of God relate to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's love is demonstrated through the sending of His Son to save His people from their sins.

The love of God is intricately linked to His plan of salvation, most profoundly expressed in the sending of Jesus Christ. In 1 John 4:9-10, it states that 'in this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.' This act demonstrates God’s purpose and willingness to sacrifice for the sake of His people. The love of God is not a vague sentiment but an active commitment to redeem a chosen people, illustrating that genuine love involves action and sacrifice. The essence of His love is shown in Christ's atoning work, which was designed to satisfy divine justice while also providing a means for sinners to be reconciled to God. True understanding of God's love must recognize that it is both just and redemptive, based on God’s choice rather than mere human action.
