Loved by God in an unchanging way?

[GoldenKingGaze]

We are loved by God. But is it true we cannot be loved by Him more or less? This depending on other factors?

Lucifer the fallen angel, does God still love him?

Angels aside, God loved you and I before we knew God was. We are taught you cannot earn more or sin and lose God's love. In John Jesus says remain in my love.

When we are born again and filled with the Spirit, do we weigh the same in God's love? Are we still worth the same?

If we are covered and filled with Jesus' sacred blood are we worth the same? When we are His and He says He loves you because you are His, is this the same degree of love?

Will our worth and His love not increase after we are glorified?

Lost souls in Hell, nothing can separate them from the love of God? Rom 8:31...

Seems you might be asking questions above our paygrades, but it made me think.

John was known as "that disciple whom He loved"
Did Jesus show favoritism - loving John more than the other disciples?

Seems hard to imagine...

I believe remaining in his love isn't referring to his love "for" us, but his love "in" us. Jesus said there was no greater love than laying down his life for us, so his love can't be greater in the future. And if he was slain from the foundation of the world, his love can't be less in the past.

You feel that God knowing us from eternity past to the end of time, causes an even measure of love that does not change?

God is said to not love us equally but uniquely.

He loves us and keeping to His own word, loves the other one as Himself.

He loves us when we are small children, but can also love our character when we are sanctified. YHWH knew all things and yet approached Moses in Exodus about to kill Him because his son was not circumcised. But Moses' wife complied and Moses lived. God seems to act on the moment sometimes.

If we are in Jesus >

"Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us." (Romans 5:5)

Hi, Rachel . . . welcome to Christian Forums

God is said to not love us equally but uniquely.

Well, Hebrews 12:4-14 talks about how our Heavenly Father loves us, by correcting us. But unbelievers are not being loved by being corrected by God > verse 8.

But "God resists the proud," we have in James 4:6 and also in 1 Peter 5:5. God is loving people by resisting them in their pride . . . so they do not get into much worse trouble, plus so they don't hurt others as much as they would if God were not resisting them.

So, how God is loving us does vary, practically. The benefits of His favor vary. And how we are has a lot to do with how we can benefit from being loved by God.

But Jesus has claimed in His own prayer that we in Jesus are loved by our Father > "as You have loved Me," He prays in John 17:20-26.
