How do we know God loves everyone?

In John 3:16, the word 'world' does not imply that every individual without exception is loved equally by God for salvation, but rather suggests that God's love encompasses all kinds of people, both Jews and Gentiles. This understanding corrects the notion that God's plan of redemption was exclusively for Israel. Throughout the New Testament, the term 'world' often signifies people groups and nations rather than every person alive. It affirms God's desire to save a multitude from every tribe and nation while being consistent with the doctrine of particular redemption, where Christ's atoning sacrifice is effective for the elect.
