Does God love everyone equally?
1 star|4 comments|June 01, 2007|976 reads
 
As I've been reading through the bible in 90 days reading plan, I've noticed that every time (at least almost) God delivers His people, someone else has to die. I wrote a little about this in  another blog.

Psalm 136 is about God's love and salvation of His people. The question I have is...based on the way God shows His love to His people, can we say that God loves everyone equally?

Good question. God treats various people differently. But then LOVE is who God IS ("God is love" 1 John 4:8,16). Yet we read "Jacob I loved and Esau I hated". I dont have all the pieces of this put together yet, I'm still on that path!  ~mike

No, certainly not. God has sheep and various flocks of sheep but the goats? Does God love the goats? Does got love the vessels fit for destruction? Does a potter love the bad pottery? Some were created to show his great mercy on others. Does not the Bible say that he created evil men for destruction, somewhere?

And even of the elect. Does he even love them equally? John was the disciple Jesus loved (or does that mean loved the most)? Egalitarianism is the devil's idea. This idea of equality is for the marxists. God's Kingdom is one of hierarchy as all Kingdom's are. Earthly Kingdoms were only a shadow of the real just as earthly sheep OR lions are only a shadow of the real Lamb of God and Lion of Judah, Jesus.

Recon...I've noticed that you are very bold in what you believe...I like that. Here is the verse you were referring to.
16:4 The LORD hath made all [things] for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.


Mike...I think we are all still "on the road" to understanding God's love. Its good that you know that you have not fully arrived. I know I'm certainly not there.

So...How should we apply our understanding of God's love in our daily lives?

I like to ask questions :)

I find consolation in this one thing: God loved us all enough to die on the cross for our sins. If He truly loves us differently, then we should take advantage of whatever love He gives and make the most of it.
