Does God fall in Love?

"For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed."

‎God does not 'fall in love' with the elect; he does not 'fall in love' with us; he sets his affection on us. He does not predestine us out of some stern whimsy; rather, in love he predestines us to be adopted as his sons. The texts themselves tie the love of God to other perfections in God. - Don Carson
