Why is God's love for the Son important for Christians?
Answered in 1 source
God's immutable love for the Son assures Christians of their own security in Christ and the eternal nature of their salvation.
The love that God the Father has for the Son is foundational for the believer's understanding of salvation. As stated in John 17:23, Jesus indicates that the Father loves His followers with the same love He has for the Son. This assures Christians not only of their acceptance but also of their security in Christ. The Father's unchanging love implies that the relationship between believers and God is rooted in the eternal love shared within the Trinity. It is through this relationship that Christians are made heirs and can definitively claim that they are beloved by the Father, further reinforcing the assurance of salvation.
