I know that it says that God so loved the
world, but does that mean that he loves everyone in the world?even all those that hate Him?
16For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in
him should not perish, but have
everlasting life.
17For God sent not his Son into
the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through him
might be saved.
18He that believeth on him is
not condemned: but he that be-
lieveth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in the
name of the only begotten Son of
God
19And this is the condemnation,
that light is come into the world,
and men loved darkness rather
than light, because their deeds were
evil.
20For every one that doeth evil
hateth the light, neither cometh to
the light, lest his deeds should be re-
proved.
21But he that doeth truth com-
eth to the light, that his deeds may
be made manifest, that they are
wrought in God.

God is love so how couldn't He love everyone? I think the real issue is whether or not we will accept and live in His love. If we refuse to receive Him or His redemptive work then we are choosing to not embrace His love; we're refusing it.

In Ezekiel 18:23, states that God is pleased when we turn from our evil way.
1 John 4:19-We love because He first loved us.
1 John 4:9-This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him.

It grew to become into Esau's action, or extra alongside his approach the God hated. As for Esau himself, God no longer only secure him yet additionally his descendants. in case you be taught up on the international locations that have been taken over via the Israelites Edom grew to become into secure because of the fact the have been the offspring's of Esau. As for the word hated throughout this reference that's only that God did no longer pick Esau. yet of direction God additionally study the guts of Esau mutually as Esau grew to become into nevertheless in the womb for this reason, he grew to become into able to examine the tip results of Esau's approach. Now i know i could desire to have lots of people who will tell me that a persons' character is a found out trait from their atmosphere, yet on a similar time to reply to those human beings, that's shown that genetics or perhaps some different matters additionally are attributed to a persons' approach and concept technique even whilst they're grown.

I remember reading 1John 3:11-24, and feeling joy throughout my entire being. Feeling God's love, and knowing it was within me. Also, when the scribe asked Jesus what the most important commandment was and Jesus answered, "That you love God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind, this is the greatest commandment, the second is: Love your neighbor as yourself." That is a paraphrase of Jesus' words, but I think the meaning is pretty clear. (Matt. 22)
Jesus said that he came to save the sinners, and that means all of us, whether we claim His redemption or not, we are loved by God and belong to Him-and every day we have the choice to follow Him. It's not an easy path, but it is the Way.

Where?
Here: Genesis 3:15 "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."
It is right there that God makes a promise to ALL humanity, that THEY will be redeemed.
All "humanity" = The "Human Race" as a whole.
"They" = The "elect"
All "humanity" = John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
John 3:16 is the promise made to mankind as a whole.
"They" = Revelation 13:8 "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."
John 3:16... God LOVES... Period.
Revelation 13:8... God SAVES... Those whom He chooses.
"Those whom He chooses" = Romans 8:29-30 "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified."
Why He chooses them and not others? = Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
But why??? = Ephesians 1:5 "Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,"
"good pleasure of His will"??? = Exodus 33:19 "And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy."
And to those that refute the sovereignty of God, and claim that the Calvin school of thought is heresy???
Exegete the back half of Exodus 33:19 any other way than it is obviously written...
..."and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy."
Use any translation, use the original Hebrew if you dare! here it is: http://alleluya.com/Hebrew/tnk/exo.htm
God "loving", and God "saving" will always be two different worlds. Using the old "catchall" John 3:16 does only half the job, and misleads the believer into thinking that God's love is a "blanket redemption"....

John 3:16 is the best for this; however, I do not recall any scripture that states that he loves everyone. I'm sure he doesn't love Satan.

Read 1 John 3:16, it stated "Hereby perceive ye the love of God, that he laid down His life for us and so should lay down our lives for the brethren. This is the true love of God because He died for us so we could have life everlasting.
