I respect your honest answer ,but how do you withhold the love of God to those who are not in covenant with God ?. Because at the end of the day if God only loves those in a covenant with him,what are we doing loving those who are not in covenant with Him.

Because God says that we are to love enemies. The time for final judgement is yet to come, which Jesus will do.

God desires people to be saved because if they reject him, they will face the wrath that is meant for Satan. That was Jesus' warning to his listening audience.

Are you saying we should love those(enemies) who God does not love ?.Or are you saying we should love our enemies because God does ?

Did you know God never fails ? 1 Corinithians 1:8 says he never fails.

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God IS love. 1 John 4:8


Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8Love(God IS Love) never fails.1 Corinthians 13

I am saying that God will someday not be loving toward those who reject him. That happens either after death or at the Final Day of Judgement.

And yes I know 1 Corinithians 1:8, 1 John 4:8.

Go find the OP of mine that qoutes all of "God is ___________", God is more than just "love".
