Love
Theology Proper · 4 verses
God's love is the eternal, free, and sovereign disposition of His will toward the objects of His affection. His love for the elect is unchangeable, unconditional, and rooted in His eternal decree of election. Divine love is supremely demonstrated in the gift of His Son as a propitiation for sin.
