The special love of God is directed toward His people marked by their love for and obedience to Christ. Jesus elaborates on this special love for God’s special people. It is a self-disclosing love and it is a love of an eternal abode. What God shares with His people out of the overflow of His love for them is the spiritual and intimate knowledge of Himself and His eternal presence with them that abounds with His trinitarian love, His presence within and His presence without.
