There are those who argue that to love someone means that you will do the greatest thing that you can do for that person. They say that if God really loves a sinner, He will predestine that person to be saved. If God has the power to predestine a person to be saved, but only gives that person physical blessings like food, water, and shelter, then that is not really love. Electing someone to salvation is far greater than giving someone physical blessings. What do you think about this?
Acts 14:16-17 says, "In the generations gone by He permitted all the nations to go their own ways; and yet He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good and gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness.” This is Paul preaching about God to the Gentiles.
Let's say that God provides rain and fruitful seasons to those who will spend an eternity in hell. Would that be considered an act of love even though God had the power to elect them to salvation, but did not?
