DOES GOD LOVE BOTH BELIEVERS AND UNBELIEVERS?

My question is does God love both the believer and the unbeliever?


Answers

The Bible says in Matthew 5:45 that God makes the sun to rise on both the good and bad people. And He sends rain for those who do right and the one who does wrong.

That's quite explanatory...You wouldn't send rain on your enemies without God helping you would you?

Still God does it effortlessly like it is normal. Because it is normal to him....He loves and accepts everyone because he created everyone in His image.They just got deceived by the evil one.

For God so loves the world (Male, Female, Kind, Wicked) that he gave his only begotten son

(Extra and selfless effort just to prove his Real Love). that whosoever believes in him should not perish,but have everlasting Life.

For as many that will and have received this love, they have an advantage in life and in Eternity. This advantage might seem like God loves the ones who have received him more (His children) but that's not entirely true. God loves everyone and "is pleased" with those who accept and love him and his Word.

While he also loves the sinners but "is not pleased" with them not accepting and coming to a higher life...much more receiving his love and kindness. So the being pleased or not being pleased is what most people may confuse  as love and hatred. Please I must not forget to add that God loves the people themselves (i.e those who haven’ t accepted His call yet) not their sin...So we don’t go and think that sin is okay that's why I made emphasis on him being pleased and not being pleased.

Jesus came for this reason to save the sinners that God already loved from their sin, not to be indulging their sins because he loves them.

I believe it's as clear as possible and if there are any challenges we can always ask questions

Plus let's remember that God is Love.
