Does God love everyone equally?

Answered in 2 sources

No, God's love is sovereign and particular, as illustrated by His choice to love Jacob and hate Esau (Romans 9:13).

Sovereign grace theology teaches that God's love is not a generic love for all individuals without distinction. Instead, it is directed toward those He has chosen, as seen in the Scriptures where God says, 'Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated' (Romans 9:13). This does not imply that God loves some people less; rather, it showcases His right to show mercy and love as He wills. The belief that God loves everyone equally diminishes the particularity and depth of His saving love for the elect, which is fully realized in Jesus Christ.
