Does God love the wicked the same way He loves the elect?

Does God love everyone in the same way—both His redeemed people and His enemies? From one of our live events, R.C. Sproul helps us understand what it means that “God so loved the world” (John 3:16).

Wish R.C. Sproul was still with us, I miss his great sense of humor and his friendship with Johnny Mac.

RC has helped shape my love of The Word and worship. I look forward to seeing him in glory. I thank God for the blessing of the gift of teaching that He blessed RC with that has impacted my life to live holy and pleasing before Him🙏🏿♥️

[marialove]

We will be with the Lord someday and with all of our fellow brothers and sisters in Jesus' name. Amen

R C helped me understand the Bible SO MUCH. His love for JESUS, his gift teaching brings me immeasurable JOY in my walk with GOD. He points the student 👨🏻‍🎓 👩🏻‍🎓 to CHRIST. He teaches about the HOLINESS of GOD. Soli Deo gloria.

God loves the wicked in order to save them, in accordance with john 3:16 and this word, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!

KING OF KINGS, NOW AND FOREVERMORE!
He’s not a baby in a manger
Not a man nailed to a cross
He’s our King and He’s our Savior
By His precious blood, He bore the cost

He is:

CHORUS
King of kings, Lord of lords, King of kings, right now!
He is King of kings, Lord of lords, now and forevermore!

He’s not coming on the clouds
He dwells in all Believer’s hearts
He’s our King and He’s our fortress
Shielding us from fiery darts, He is

King of kings, Lord of lords, King of kings, right now!
He is King of kings, Lord of lords, now and forevermore!

Let the scales fall from your eyes
Let the mighty healing begin
He’s our King and He’s our Maker
Bend the knee for the blessings it brings

He is:

King of kings, Lord of lords, King of kings, right now!
He is King of kings, Lord of lords, now and forevermore!

King of kings, Lord of lords, now and forevermore!
Now and forevermore
Now and forevermore

Love is a choice. One out of many.

That is why it is so passionate, irrevocable, unending. A blazing fire, a burning heat. (Song of Solomon)

When we meet Him, we will finally know from experience; for now, we are compelled to live by Faith.

[PrideofIpplepen]

I wish the Amen corner would hush while RC is speaking!

[passiousmagee]

[teresitalibuton]

GOD is Kind even to the Evil. the LORD GODFATHER in Christ LOVED the World and HE can not Let HIS LOVE to Suffer Mercilessly Everlastingly.Only Perish Because of not Believing.

We give thanks to the Most High GOD for a happy new month. March is when the true new year begins. We have seen the end of 2020 and 2020 did not see our end. Let us read the Holy King James Bible more in 2021. What change in weather did you see or feel from December 31 to January 1?

[conanlabiche]

it's hard to understand why & how some christians remain caught up in this whole calvinist thing.
don't think of it as calvin (he would not have it). it's biblical.
rc explains it so a 3 years old can understand.
when the Spirit works in the redeemed, the christian reads the holy scriptures and they come alive with such clarity & power; the holy word of God

[micahsims]

Thanks for describing the terms. It is a shame there were no verses in here to support them.

[bobbybowers]

Psalm 11:5 says God hates the wicked, and those who love violence. Question answered.

[therant]

Yes. God loves everyone in the same way. Paul the Apostle wrote in Romans that God does not show favoritism. On the other hand.... God does SHOW favor towards those he calls for his greater purposes, but if we sin it's the same disconnection from holiness. Like King Saul, or David, or Solomon. Even Peter when he denied Jesus 3 times, and many of the Apostles who fled when Jesus was arrested.

Now here's the most Holy and Beautiful gift God has ever bestowed upon us ALL; FORGIVENESS through our repentance and Jesus Christ's most precious blood. The ENTIRE Bible is about our fall, our savior Jesus Christ, and our redemption THROUGH Jesus Christ.

We ALL have the same opportunity to KNOW, LOVE, and SHARE GOD with the world. So yes... God shows no favoritism; he loves us all even in our correction, punishment, and for those who have rejected HE'S WAITING FOR YOU.

He WANTS to forgive you. He WANTS to give you NEW LIFE. Amen.

[Fryingpan]

Can we have the full video of this? Thank you.

What does ALL mean ? What does EVERY mean? What does Unconditional mean ?
What does it mean when it says “ EVERY knee will bow and EVERY tongue will confess “ ?

[travisstaggs]

So let me get this straight; God so loved the world with a common, benevolent love that He gave His only Son ? See context matters, if God is only speaking of a general nonsaving love here then why is it the reason he sent his Son?
