God is love. He loves all man equally. He does not discriminate. He is just and true. He hates sin. He is joyful for His sons because of Jesus. We may speak of the affection and the wrath of God at the same time without contradictions.
He loves His people with an infinite love which is revealed progressively forever. And as a result of this revelation, we are imparted with the ability to show affection to Jesus. It takes God to love God. We are able to love God only because of His grace.
One thing we must get hold of for us to love God properly is that God is happy. Many churches teach things or say things that make people feel that the Lord is mostly sad or mostly mad. The truth is God is joyful. Jesus is Joyful.
