How is God's love for Christ connected to the salvation of believers?

Answered in 1 source

God's love for Christ is directly correlated to His love and grace extended to believers through Christ's obedience.

The love of God for Christ is foundational to the believer's assurance of salvation. Jesus indicates in John 10:17 that the Father loves Him because of His obedience, which was ultimately for our sake. This obedience culminated in His sacrificial death, fulfilling the redemptive plan laid before time. According to John 17:23, the love the Father has for the Son is extended to believers, signifying that through the obedient Son, we are beloved and accepted. Understanding this connection is vital as it assures us that our standing before God is based on Christ's merit rather than our own failures, guaranteeing the promises of God’s unwavering love and grace toward us.
