What does it mean that God loved His people with an everlasting love?
Answered in 1 source
It means God’s love for His people is unchanging and eternal, rooted in His sovereign purpose.
God's love characterized as everlasting (Jeremiah 31:3) suggests that it is not dependent on circumstances or our actions. According to Reformed theology, God's love towards His elect exists outside of time, firmly established before creation (Ephesians 1:4). This love guarantees that God cannot cease to love His chosen ones, providing comfort and security to believers amidst life's trials. It emphasizes that our salvation and relationship with Him are rooted in His committed, covenantal love. Thus, understanding this everlasting love encourages believers to trust in God’s faithfulness and to rest in the assurance of their salvation.
