When did God start loving the believers?

[Jarthur001]

Romans 8....

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

It is clear God loves his people. At the point that God placed his love on us......, who will separate us from this love?

When did God start loving us?

If God died for us out of love for us as Scripture says, who would keep us separated from the love of God?

 

[Tom Butler]

A pretty good proof passage for eternal security. The question Paul asks is rhetorical. The answer is, of course, nobody. That means nobody, including me, can separate me from the love of God.

 

[Iconoclast]

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.

8And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world

God set His love on His people before creation...Creation could not have happened unless Jesus was already the mediator and surety of His people.

31When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

32And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

33And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

34Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
