Heavenly Father does not love people the same way a person believes. God loves some people on average, while showing others more love.
- People who fear him.
His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.
Luke 1:50
- People who put their trust in him.
But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
8 They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.
Jeremiah 17:7-8
- Those who seek him.
The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.
Lamentations 3:25-26
- People who seek righteousness (Holiness).
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness,
and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:33
- People who read and put into practice what the written word in the Bible says. If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the Lord your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your ancestors. 13 He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land—your grain, new wine and olive oil—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.
Deuteronomy 7:12-13
- People who believe in his son Jesus Christ.
Whoever believes in him is not condemned,
but whoever does not believe stands condemned already
because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
John 3:18
- People who hate sin in all its form.
