The love of Christ is unending; it is not a passion of His humanity but a perfection of His divinity. He has always existed and He has always loved His people. His people always had a place in His thoughts, have ever been before His eye, and have always been loved by Him!
He has loved them ever since He knew them and He knew them from eternity! His love ran through the boundless ages of eternity last and fixed upon poor sinners who were to appear during the existence of time; and having fixed upon them, His love maintains its unfailing hold!
[James Smith]
Jeremiah 31:3 ... The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. ❤
