God's love is specific to His elect; He does not extend His salvific love to everyone equally as indicated in Romans 9:13.
The question of why God does not love everyone equally is addressed in Romans 9, where the love of God is shown to be a particular love for His chosen ones, represented by Jacob. God's word states that He loved Jacob and hated Esau, which underscores that God's love is sovereign and purposeful, not based on human standards. This truth challenges modern ideas of universal love, emphasizing instead the scriptural teaching that asserts God's particular love for His elect is an expression of His grace and mercy. Understanding this distinction promotes a deeper appreciation for the nature of divine love and its implications for salvation.
