Have you all come to a conclusion regarding whether God loved the faithful more than He loved the unfaithful?


In His Love, Mercy & Grace,

Jesus loves everyone equally. However, He loves it more when people embrace salvation. He hates it when people neglect or reject salvation.

Only God and Christ can fully sympathize with sinful man.

Only the Father and Son can both understand and love the sinner.

The man who sins is simply following the natural path (the nature) he received from Adam. This fallen nature is why God sent His Son, an expression of His Love for His creation.

The greatest sinners need the most love, patience and understanding.

These are invariably the clergy of the day who are preaching the message but not living it. They are condemned by their own hypocrisy and would crucify Christ again if they could.

Jesus knows this, but in love He calls them to repent.

What is even a greater subject relative to this is, how can our Father who has been perfect in love, love even more? But the bible shows that the love He has for His son has grown even more intense since He did what He did for us. Perfection is not static but grows to higher heights forever.

Here is something to think on...

"When we seek for appropriate language in which to describe the love of God, we find words too tame, too weak, too far beneath the theme, and we lay down our pen and say, “No, it cannot be described.” We can only do as did the beloved disciple, and say, “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God.” [1 John 3:1.] In attempting any description of this love, we feel that we are as infants lisping their first words. Silently we may adore; for silence in this matter is the only eloquence. This love is past all language to describe. It is the mystery of God in the flesh, God in Christ, and divinity in humanity. Christ bowed down in unparalleled humility, that in his exaltation to the throne of God, he might also exalt those who believe in him, to a seat with him upon his throne. All who look upon Jesus in faith that the wounds and bruises that sin has made will be healed in him, shall be made whole. {CE 77.1}
The themes of redemption are momentous themes, and only those who are spiritually minded can discern their depth and significance. It is our safety, our life, our joy, to dwell upon the truths of the plan of salvation. Faith and prayer are necessary in order that we may behold the deep things of God. Our minds are so bound about with narrow ideas, that we catch but limited views of the experience it is our privilege to have. How little do we comprehend what is meant by the prayer of the apostle, when he says, “That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height, and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” [Ephesians 3:16-21.]—The Review and Herald, November 17, 1891. {CE 77.2}


Search me oh God and know my heart, test me and know my anxious thoughts, see if there is any offensive way in me and lead me to the way everlasting. Amen

God loves everyone and wants them to accept His gift of salvation and be saved.
However, there is a difference.

Those who love and follow Him are loved with a joyous love. It brings joy and gladness to the heart of God. In fact all of heaven rejoices over every sinner that turns to God and follows Him.

Those who reject and turn from Him are loved with a sad love, that hurts deeply. Why will you die, the Savior pleads with tears, turn from your sinful ways, come unto Me, the fount of salvation and be saved, for why will you die?
