We are told in Ephesians 5:25 that Christ loved the church and gave himself for it. But the church is made up of individual believers. Each believer is to know his great love wherewith he loved them personally. Ephesians 2:4 Particular redemption.
Without sinners, the richness of God's mercy cannot be demonstrated. The mercy of God is realised in the great love he shows them personally.
1/ Some individuals in scripture whom God expresses a love to. 2/ The great acts of God's love to individuals. 3/ The effect of God's love to us.
(I want to be clear that although we are told of election in the case of Jacob and Esau, and only the elect will be saved, yet election is known by calling. None may despair of the mercy of God thinking they are not elect, or give way to fatalism - if I am elected I will be saved and if not there is nothing I can do. We are to seek the Lord while he may be found, and hope in his mercy. Seeking repentance and remission of sins through Christ Jesus.) Isaiah 55:7 & Acts 5:31
