Does Jesus Love Everyone?

[John - CLM]

 DOES GOD LOVE EVERYONE

1).God is love (and life).  He created and loves everyone and offers true life to all.  But, nobody receives love or life, by knowing that God loves them!

2).The love of God for each person … remains with God, until the individual accepts and receives God’s love in Christ, (by grace), for themselves.

3). Those who reject/ignore the love and life God offers in Christ … do not receive or have either God’s love or life.
   (“I knew you not” – is not God’s failure to recognize the individual, but, the individual’s
                    refusal to be known (loved) by God)

4).   Therefore, while God loves all people; All people do not have God’s love.

5).   The same principle applies to Christ’s death on the cross:
a).   Christ satisfied justice and paid “the wages of sin” for ALL.
b).   While Christ died for ALL, only those who personally accept His sacrifice as payment for
                       their sins, have salvation or life.

  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8   

At variance with love's definition is it not?
