What does the Bible say about God's loving rule?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes God's loving rule as a sovereign authority granted to Christ for the purpose of salvation.

In John 17, Christ speaks of a loving rule given to Him as the God-man mediator, specifically to give eternal life to those elected by the Father. This loving rule is not tyrannical but a gracious authority intended to bring redemption and hope to a lost humanity. It underscores that God didn't send His Son to condemn but to save, as highlighted in John 3:17, which states: 'For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.' This authority ensures that God's purposes are accomplished, including the election and calling of the lost by Christ's profound power as the Redeemer.
