Is It Biblical to Say That God Loves Everyone?

In this brief clip, R.C. Sproul answers the question, “Is it biblical to say that God loves everyone?”

[letstalkbiblewithshun.s]

If God doesn't love everyone I wonder why scripture says "God wishes that NONE would perish but ALL would come to the knowledge of the truth."

1 John 5:3
“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.”

[williamhoneycutt]

2:40

I've understood it as His love is unconditional, but His Mercy isn't.

[michaelsnelgrove]

God demands that WE love OUR enemies so we know that He loves His.

The danger of these little video clips is that people will have the tendency to isolate the whole context from what Dr sproul is speaking. Therefore people who had never heard about him will disagree on the spot. We need to understand that there are biased opinions about the word of God. All truth belongs to God and we have the privilege to search it. But not recklessly. God gave us the Spirit so we have the tool of discernment. Stop arguing. that helps nobody. Our walk with christ is personal. We are not supposed to win arguments but to win souls. We are God's means for the extention of His grace.

If you were to ask me when I was saved I would say since the foundation of the world. I don't know why I would say that. It's just what's in my heart. I am humbled by the grace given to me. My heart cries for the lost.

If everyone could be disobedient and still get his love, why did he flood us when we turned to extreme sinners

[Eaaatlife]

His love is unconditional, But he is also Just. His love is unconditional but his salvation is not.
Christ died for us when we were still sinners, that was the love that drove him to the cross, but repentance and trusting in Jesus is the condition for receiving Gods forgiveness and salvation.

Poor RC on oxygen, I hope he sticks around a long time though. He's needed.

[raullozada]

Maybe He calls them to repent because He loves them?

[Squishysforbreakfast]

John 3:16 KJV "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."
Keywords: Loved and world.
I'm not saying you don't need to repent or that he doesn't hate aspects of us. But it's right there; he loves us so much that he was willing to send his son to die for us in our place.

[frankcostello]

we must repent daily, minute by minute and second by second, , yes the Love of Christ sets us free

[BiG_SorD]

It’s not our place to say who God loves, we all come to Christ with complete nothingness. He is good we are not. His character is just and good. His love is for all who come to him and the ones who thirst. Stay close to Jesus love him with your all because he’s given his all for you ✌️

[ViolinistJeff]

It is actually BECAUSE of His unconditional, equal love for all people that God calls all of us to repentance. If God did not unconditionally love all people equally, He WOULD NOT CARE if some people never repented.

[inTruthbyGrace]

RC Sproul... well he knows better now.... John 3:16 is NOT divided up into 3 types of love and Jesus died *_for sinners_*

[KurejoZodis]

The Most High doesn't love everyone. Not all of the children belong to Him. Read Psalms 5:5 He hates all evil doers.

[mikem]

God is love and He extends that love to everyone. Not everyone will receive it. He invites everyone to come to His Son, but you have to come His way. In repentance, in humility, in full surrender, in believing the gospel. 1 Cor 15:3-4

[BlossomWhite]

I don't get it he love me or not??? does he care for me just a tiny bit or

[MG-hiej]

Psalm 5:4-6 states: "For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are not welcome. The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong; you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, Lord, detest."

Therefore, it is not Biblical to say that God loves everyone.

Proverbs 3:11-12
Revelation 3:19
Hebrews 12:6


There is a special love of discipline in the greek called "philio" love. This is the kind that goes to the sons of God, but not to the world


Imagine a puppy to his owner. This puppy person is loved in a unique way better than the other sons of wrath. Justification/Sanctification
