How do we know that God does not love everyone?

Answered in 2 sources

Scripture reveals that God actively hates the workers of iniquity, indicating that His love is not extended to all (Psalm 5:5).

God's love is often misunderstood due to the prevailing belief in universalism or an overly broad understanding of His grace. However, Psalm 5 makes it clear that God 'hateth all workers of iniquity.' This statement is not merely a reflection of God's disapproval but denotes a profound rejection of those who live in rebellion against Him. It is important to understand that God's character is holy, and His love is inseparable from His justice. He cannot overlook sin; hence, those who persist in it remain outside of His favor. Such scriptures challenge the notion that God loves everyone unconditionally, illustrating instead that His love is directed toward those who are righteous in Christ.
