Does God love everyone?

[tonychanyt]

English Standard Version, Jn 3:

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Strong's Greek: 2889. κόσμος (kosmos) — 186 Occurrences

G2889 was polysemantic. BDAG:
① that which serves to beautify through decoration, adornment, adorning
② condition of orderliness, orderly arrangement, order
③ the sum total of everything here and now, the world, the (orderly) universe
④ the sum total of all beings above the level of the animals, the world
⑤ planet earth as a place of inhabitation
⑥ humanity in general
⑦ the system of human existence in its many aspects
⑧ collective aspect of an entity, totality, sum total

God so loved humanity in the world that he sent his only Son into the world to save them. 1J 4:

9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world [G2889], so that we might live through him.

1P 3:

18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God.

Generally speaking, God loves everyone. The problem is that not everyone loves him back.

Does God love everyone equally?

No. Ro 9:

13 As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”

It depends on God's sovereign choice. God loves everyone universally, though not equally.
