Yes, you are right:
“It is by God’s grace that you have been saved, through faith. It is not your own doing, but God’s gift.”[Ephesians 2:8-9]

“Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.” [Psalm 43:1] “I shall cleanse you of all your defilement and all your idols. I shall give you a new heart…I shall put my spirit in you…You shall be my people and I shall be your God.” [Ezekiel 36:25-26, 29] “I will smelt away your dross in the furnace; I will remove all your base metal from you.” [Isaiah 1:25]

For the Lord said : “My thoughts are not your thoughts, my ways are not your ways…Yes, and the heavens are as high above the earth as my ways are above your ways, my thoughts above your thoughts.” [Isaiah 55:8-9]

Isaiah says, “I was thinking: ‘I have toiled in vain, I have exhausted myself for nothing.’ And all the while my cause was with God, my reward with my God.” [Isaiah 49:3-4]

For “the Lord is not being slow to carry out His promises…but He is being patient with you all, wanting nobody to be lost and everybody to be brought to change his ways.” [2Peter 3:9]
 
GOD loves us but hate our sins, when we sin we enter in a different realm with its own rules and conditions.

God does not hate our sins…God is Love. God, in his glory, uses our sins to draw us to him. In so many cases our sins become our gifts when they awaken us to our inner spiritual journey.

Hello friend,
Yes God loves us but hates our sins but not sinners.as mortals we are tempted by 7 deadly sins.Sometimes we do sins unknowingly,unwillingly,for that God ha s given us an opportunity to be clean.Anyone who repents & promise to GOD not to do the sin shall get salvation.Sins cant be gift that is the path of destruction.I mean for example if you kill someone then you realize what you have done will never bring the dead person alive.Kain killed Abel and he was cursed.So this cant be gift.Sins are performed by inner degression realization made us aware not perfect.
I want to know your explanation about your opinion please.
have a good day

You forget that it is the Father that leads Jesus into the desert to be tempted by Satan.

Jesus receives our hatred and does not return it. He suffers and does not make the other suffer. He does not first look at changing others, but pays the price of change within himself. He absorbs the mystery of human sin rather than passing it on. He does not use his suffering and death as power over others to punish them, but as power for others to transform them. He includes and forgives the sinner instead of hating him, which would only continue the pattern of hate. Amazing that people cannot see that!

Did you read Aditi’s first sentence? He/she clearly stated that Jesus loves sinners. As to the sins themselves, we have to take into consideration His warning “If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off…” and the rest of that section. In His love for us He desires our repentance, but since we are created with free will, He doesn’t force us, though He gives us powerful help (we Catholics call this grace). He desires our love for Him to be a free choice.
 
Just some thoughts on God’s love.

When Jesus spent his time on Earth, he would have lived by the greatest commandments, could these commandments be the greatest purpose of both God the Father and God the Son?

Jesus loves God the Father with all his heart, mind, soul and strength.
Jesus loves each and every one of us as he loves himself.

God the Father loves God the Son, with all his heart, mind, soul and strength.
The Father loves each and every one of us as he loves himself.

Does the human nature of Jesus reflect his divine nature?

Blessings

Eric

I can think of few themes as consistent in the Scriptures as God hating sin. Did someone teach you otherwise?
 
When mAn first commited sin GOD was so angry that HE curse both man,woman,and snake.Even GOD showed Adam & Eve the path outside of EDEN.GOD could not believe Humans “so HE drove out the man and HE placed Cherubim at the east of the garden of EDEN and a flaming sword which turned every way to guard way to the tree of life” GENESIS 3-24
GENESIS 6-5:7
GENESIS 11
GENESIS 18-20:21
GENESIS 19-26
 
GOD really loves us.We mean a lot to HIM.It is not mentioned in BIBLE but I have heard from a PREACHER when I was a child that “Lucifer wsa very dear to GOD.he was close to GOD and GOD had given him priority.He was the Morning Star.But when GOD decided to pour all HIS love and power to JESUS CHRIST he could not tolerate it and rebel against GOD’s decission.Naturally his boast led him down.That time many angels of haven followed Lucifer& threw down from heaven.GOD was very much sorry of the fact and decided to fulfil heaven with angels in place of fallen angels.Now Lucifer who was turned into SATAN (Adversary) was not happy with the fact.And came to Eden to make Human Fallen”
The story is an incident not story.Milton’s PARADISE LOST is an e

And what scripture is that? God loves us so much that he sent his Son to die

He became “sin” to free us from sin (Romans 8:3), the Cosmic Scapegoat who reveals our worst and best souls to those who will gaze long enough (John 19:37). He became the pleading image of what humans do to humans—so we could see it in stark outline, with the curtain of denial withdrawn. He became the crucified so we would stop crucifying. He became the crucified who refused to crucify back, and thus stopped the inevitable pattern of death.

Jesus made it quite clear that he knew we would “sin” when he said we must forgive 7x70 times. This is not hate for sin…it is a love that surpasses our understanding.
 
Did Adam&eve get another chance to live in Eden?
Was not Cain cursed?
Did not GOD repent for making Humans & wished to destroy them by flood?
Did not GOD make 10 commandment to follow?
Did not GOD make so many rules to follow?
Do you think Baptism & Holy communion is just a ritual to perform?
If GOD loves sin why did HE send LUCIFER to Hell?

Friend, I did not say God Love’s sin…I did say that God does not hate sin…more so, like a loving parent he knows we are prone to choose poorly and is always, despite our self, calling us through our failings to awaken to His love…a love that never ceases to love us.
