The Time of Love !
One of the great lies men believe today, which is a strong delusion 2 Thess 2:11
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
Its that God Loves all of mankind without exception, which we who know the Truth and the True God, know to be a lie, for God hates many out of mankind Ps 5:5
5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
Now, those whom God does Love, there will come a time in their life when God applies His Love towards them in deed and gives them Spiritual life from the dead.
Just as God encourages His children to love not just in word but in deed as well 1 Jn 3:18
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed or action and in truth.
This Love responds when it merely sees a Loved one in need 1 Jn 3:17
But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
James wrote about Love in action towards a loved one James 2:15-16
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
Well heres the Truth of Gods Love towards them He so Loved Jn 3:16, He seeth them all by nature dead in sin Eph 2:4-6
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved )
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Those God so Loved in Christ, when He sees them dead in their trespasses and sins, void of spiritual life, His Great Love for them applys the Death of Christ unto them and gives them Life, so that they live spiritually unto Him !
The Old Testament counterpart to this Truth is found here in Ezekiel 16:6-8
6 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live.
7 I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou wast naked and bare.
8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord God, and thou becamest mine.
God Loves those He Loves in Deed, in action, and gives them what they need, which is Life, to Live. Any sinner that God so Loves with His Great love wherein He Loved them Eph 2:4, then in accordance with that Love, He gives them Life through Christ, so that may and do Live unto God ! Any sinner that is not raised out of spiritual death unto living unto God through Christ, God did not Love them !
And there is no scripture warrant to say that He did !
