What does the Bible say about God's love for His people?
Answered in 15 sources
The Bible declares that God's love for His people is eternal and unbreakable, rooted in His sovereign choice and the sacrificial work of Christ.
The love of God for His people is a central theme throughout Scripture, emphasizing its everlasting nature. Romans 8:35 asserts that nothing—tribulation, distress, or even death—can separate us from the love of Christ. This love is not contingent upon our actions or failures; rather, it stems from God's eternal purpose and plan for redemption. In Jeremiah 31:3, God proclaims, 'I have loved you with an everlasting love,' affirming that His love is not a response to our merits but a result of His divine will. Thus, believers can rest assured that if God loved us from eternity, nothing we encounter will cause Him to withdraw that love.
