Why is it misleading to say God loves everyone unconditionally?

Answered in 1 source

Saying God loves everyone unconditionally undermines the call to repentance and the reality of God's wrath against sin.

Proclaiming that God loves everyone unconditionally is dangerous because it can lead to a misunderstanding of the Gospel and the nature of God. If people believe there are no conditions to God’s love, they may think they can remain in rebellion against God without consequence. The biblical message, however, emphasizes the necessity of repentance and faith in Christ for experiencing God's special love—the love of complacency. Furthermore, God's attitude towards sin and sinners is serious; He abhors wickedness and justly responds to unrepentant sin with wrath. Thus, failing to communicate the fullness of God's character compromises the urgency and seriousness of the Gospel invitation.
