Does God love Satan and his children?

[Ogner]

Does God love his enemies? 

Why do we have to love those who wish us harm for no reason?

 

[frienduff thaylorde]

Cause we was all evil , vile and wicked things ,  and then instead of the death we deserved, God gave grace which drew us to Christ

and we are forgiven because HE paid the price .    OH its true God will destroy the wicked AT HIS COMING , but till then we follow CHRIST JESUS

and his examples .     So armour up Ogner .    God forgave me for a mountain of sin ,    let us therefore forgive those who sin against us and preach Christ .

 

[Jayne]

Loving people who wish to harm you doesn't mean you have a picnic with them and become their best buddy and put yourself in harm's way.

It means that you behave towards them the way that God did for us and the way that Jesus did for  us.  Loving your enemy means to do what God has done.

• The Bible says that while we were still sinners [and enemies with God] Christ died for our sins.  And it also says that this is how God demonstrated his love for us. 
•  The Bible says that Gods sends "the rain" on evil people and good people.  If he blesses the unjust with rain, and Jesus tells us to pray for those who persecute us, then we should take our cue from God and his Son.
• God is very, very patient with the lost.  He is very, very patient with Christians who foul up.  He gave the pagan people of the Old Testament hundreds of years to repent before he destroyed them.  
• God IS love, but God is also a God of wrath - why? - because he is holy.  God cannot and will not love what is unholy.  And that includes Satan and his demons.
• You are I are not to love what is unholy - abortion, rape, murder, pornography, lying, and more.  But we are to pray for those who treat us with ill will and worse.  Who knows - our praying for them might bring them to the Lord.

Does God forgive those who hate Jesus despite all the good He's done?

Repentance is from the heart.

 

I can say forgive me without sincere repentance.

And I cannot say a word, but repent sincerely.

"For the Lord does not see as man sees;
    for man looks at the outward appearance,
        but the Lord looks at the heart." - 1 Samuel 16:7

 

And obviously, if repentance indeed happened it will become visible, for all to see.

"For nothing is secret that will not be revealed,
    nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light." - Luke 8:17

[Wayne222]

Jesus said father forgive them for they know not what they do. 

               While they were killing him. We must forgive the same way. And pray for them.

Right

Why should I forgive thoes who wish me harm and show no mercy on me? They do not ask me to forgive them. And they're happy when can hurt me.
