“As to its duration, it is to eternity; “having loved his own, which were in the world, he loved them unto the end,” John 13:1; his love is invariable, unalterable, and unchangeable: it is like himself, “the same yesterday, to-day, and for ever;” all the waters of sin and corruption cannot extinguish it; nor can any creature in heaven, earth, or hell, separate his people from it. John Gill (1697-1771)
