Does God love everyone the same? While all humans are created in God's image and have intrinsic value, believers experience a unique and intimate love.

Does God love everyone the same?
The Bible teaches that humans are created in God's image, giving them intrinsic value and worth. Humans have a special status compared to other creatures. God's image has been marred in humans due to sin, but that value remains.
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” Genesis 1:27
Is God's love for Christians different from His love for non-believers?
God loved the world, and the people in it, and sent His Son for their salvation. Christ died for sinners while they were still sinners. That’s ALL of us. But believers experience a different kind of love from God due to their relationship with Him. Believers experience God's love in a unique way, akin to a parent's love for their child.
“Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God” John 1:12
It is more important to focus on experiencing and sharing God's love with the lost rather than dividing over its nature.

Thought of the Day:
Are you willing to work for the results? This thought made me think of three verses.
“The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.” Proverbs 13:4
“In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to poverty.” Proverbs 14:23
“The craving of a sluggard will be the death of him, because his hands refuse to work.” Proverbs 21:25
Be diligent in your efforts and not just talk about your goals. Live with purpose and make the most of the time you are given. Think about your eternal accountability and use your time and talents wisely. Strive for the results God has called you to achieve.
“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:12
