If God is infinitely loving, why does he not love everyone into heaven, andwhy does he sometimes cease loving people(Hos 9:15)?

Answer: The Arminian and the Open Theist, arguing from the priority of God’s infinite love, regard it as necessary for God to love all men equally and completely, and avoid unqualified universalism by positing contra-causal freedom as a further, necessary expression of God’s love. Thus God’s love is not limited, only man’s willingness to receive it. This model makes logical sense, but does not comport with Scripture, which most clearly indicates that God does not love all people identically (Mal 1:3; Rom 9:13, 18, 21; Matt 13:11ff; John 2:24; etc.).

It is better to say that God’s necessarily infinite love-in-himself does not oblige him to communicate this love infinitely. God’s attributes are all infinite in se, but he nonetheless remains independent as to their communication. Thus, God may, in accordance with his own will and decree, extend his love in a particular manner without being subject in any sense to criticism (Rom 9:20).
