Wow! We are to be extremely “concerned” to the point to sacrificial unconditional Loving those that are not going to repent, but God has no concern for them?
Is my Love greater than God’s Love, since I am concerned about everyone in this world?
Since there is no difference in the actions of those that are the elect and those not elected prior to being elected why the incontinency on God’s part?
Jesus says,
Luke 18:7
And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?
God will avenge His people whom He foreknew in love, who now have repented and believe and are saved from the wrath of God coming on the sons of disobedience, who follow the prince of the power of the air, Satan, as their god, of whom is the entire unsaved mass of humankind. Satan works in them. But God works in His foreknown elect people chosen by Him from the foundation of the earth.
For the unsaved, this, they follow Satan as their god.
Ephesians 2:2
in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,

God’s Final Judgment and Glory
3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other, 4 so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure, 5 which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer; 6 since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you, 7 and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, 8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.
Ephesians 5:6
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
