Does God still love people who are hateful and ungodly?
Yes. Even people who are hateful toward God, live as reprobates, and are ungodly are still loved by God. Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. He is able to reach below the vilest sinner, lift him up, and make him a saint.
Les explains that everyone knows someone who seems so ungodly and hateful toward God, living like a reprobate, that most people do not even want to associate with them—yet God still loves them. God is not limited by the depth of their sin; He is able to reach below the vilest sinner, lift him up, and make him a saint. This is why, where sin abounded, grace did much more abound, and why Paul refers to his Gospel as the Gospel of the Grace of God. Les then moves to Romans 10:9-13, stressing that God expects verbalization, not merely a mental assent, and that a person should tell God out loud that he recognizes from Scripture that he is a sinner.
