What are the attributes of God's love?

Answered in 1 source

God’s love is unchanging, infinite, and primarily centered in His love for His Son, from which His love for sinners flows.

The attributes of God's love are profound and foundational to understanding His character. Firstly, God's love is unchanging; as stated in Malachi 3:6, 'I the Lord do not change.' This constancy comforts believers, ensuring them that God's love remains steadfast regardless of circumstances. Secondly, God's love is infinite and not based on human merit or failure. It’s rooted in the love the Father has for the Son, as expressed in John 5:20, where the Father shows the Son all He does because of His deep affection. This love for His Son spills over to humanity, as Romans 5:8 declares that God demonstrated His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Thus, true understanding of God's love must begin with His relationship with Christ, affirming that we are loved in and through the Son.
