If someone really believes this or has interpreted scripture saying that He does then they need to go back and read a little bit more. God loves everyone the same and that is how He is glorified. For God so loved the world that he sent His only begotten Son. Quite frankly that does not mean He only loved some of us. He loves us all very much and thus He sent His Son to be a sacrifice for us.

There are many who will argue that if God does indeed love us all the same then why do some go to heaven and not others? Well it is not out of love but rather only those that love Him will enter His kingdom. We all have the choice to accept Jesus into our hearts, to live a life for Him and to sacrifice our worldly wants for what God commands of us. We all have the opportunity to that same salvation. It is us that chooses against heaven, not God choosing to reject us.

He says that those who do not know Him will not enjoy the fruits of eternity. This is because God cannot allow someone who rejected Him into His home. If He did He would contradict Himself and since God is perfect this cannot happen. While God loves and cherishes each and every one of us He also allows us to make our own destiny. Notice He does not mettle in our lives when we do not want Him to. Rather He sits back and waits for us to bump our heads and then come back to Him. Some never do.

Regardless of whether or not you are a Christian or believe in God you should at least know the scripture before claiming a side. God loves us all the same. However that does not mean He is not willing to use some of us differently. He calls for some to be in the ministry, has called some to be prophets, some to be king. But this is just Him being God. He loves the poorest of the poor just the same as the richest of the rich. He does say though that we cannot buy our way into heaven. This goes along with the "you can't buy my love" phrase. There is nothing here on earth that we can offer God. Therefore giving to charities and feeding the hungry will not get you bonus points. They are just things you should do because they are good things to do. The only way to gain that relationship with God is to personally seek Him. For some this is too hard for them to do.

In closing I would like to say that God does love everyone and is waiting for you to open your hearts to Him. You see God will not beat down the door to your heart and come in because that would be taking away your free will. Rather He is standing outside in the cold waiting for you to open yourself up and let Him in. I pray that you will, if you already haven't, open your heart to Him and allow Him to live inside you.

God Bless!
