Why is the love of God for the Son significant for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The love of God the Father for the Son assures Christians of their identity and security in Christ.

Understanding the Father's love for the Son is crucial in the life of a believer. According to historic Reformed theology, this love forms the foundation of our assurance of salvation. In John 5, we see that Jesus’ mission and His relationship with the Father are rooted in this divine love. The Father's love is the motivation behind the sending of the Son and is what assures believers that they are accepted in Christ, not based on their merit but on the merit of the Son who fulfills all righteousness. This profound connection assures us that our salvation is secured by God's unwavering commitment to His beloved Son.
