It's true that God offers His love to the whole world, as we read in one of the most quoted verses in the Bible:"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have ever lasting life." John 3:16 However, God's love is qualified, as we read in the Bible:"The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord; but He loveth him that followeth after righteousness." Proverb 15:9"For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish." Psalms 1:6 Q. But I am not wicked. I am a decent moral person.

But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
