God’s Love Always Saves

This article aims to explain the doctrine of God's Love, unadulterated by the emotions of man.  We love him, because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19) The elect of God are God’s beloved before the foundation of the world. He loved us first in eternity (where there was never any moment that He did not love His elect) and that causes His elect to love Him in earthly time and space. In other words, we can believe in Him because God has unconditionally chosen us in Christ in eternity. The opposite of 1 John 4:19 is equally true for the wicked reprobates: they do not love Him, because He first never loved them. The wicked reprobates do not love Him and will never love Him because God has no love for them at all in the first place.   God has no lesser love (commonly called universal, general love) than His electing, salvific and special love. There is only one love of God i.e. His eternal particular love for the elect alone that causes their salvation, manifested in true repentance
