Who Does God Love?
#DoYouReallyLoveGod

You must also understand that NOT ALL are chosen to be the CHILDREN OF GOD. There are also those that are the CHILDREN OF SATAN and these men can NEVER receive the TRUTH which brings SALVATION. They can NEVER love God.
John 8:42-45
[42] Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
[43] Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word.
[44] Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
[45] And because I tell [you] the truth, ye believe me not.
[46] Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
[47]"He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God."
They that cannot hear God's Word or believe God's Word are NOT the children of God.
Neither are they that do not love one another.
God does NOT LOVE these for they are not His Own, though He does show mercy upon them as He willeth.
Romans 9:13-16
[13]As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
[14]What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
[15]For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
[16]So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
So we must realize that we cannot love God of our own will. It is He who places the love of God within us by His Spirit which He gives ONLY to His Sons and Daughters
Galatians 4:6
[6]"And because ye are sons (and daughters), God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father."
Romans 5:5
[5]And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
How does one know whether God loves them or not?
God CORRECTS as many as HE LOVES.
Revelation 3:19
[19]As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Hebrews 12:6-8
[6] For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
[7] If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
[8] But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Those that are children will take His correction and keep them thereby showing that they love Jesus, having been begotten of Him, and will be loved by the Father.
John 14:21
[21] He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
When we keep God's commandments we also love one another for this is the purpose of His commandments.
1 John 5:2-3
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
As we keep God's commandments and love one another we grow in His love, becoming more and more like Him.
1 John 2:5
[5] But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
So does the Word of God convict you and do you come into obedience when it does?
