The reason why God loves and cares about people is that on the one hand, God has the essence of love. Within this love there is mercy, lovingkindness, tolerance, and patience. There are also manifestations of concern, and worry and sadness. All this is determined by the essence of God. Man is created by God, and He cares about them and feels affection for them, He wants them to be good and to walk the right path, but seeing them corrupted by Satan, walking the path of evil, and suffering makes God sad and anguished. God has these reactions, feelings, and manifestations, all of which arise because of God's essence, and which are inseparable from the relationship formed by God's creation of man. These are all objective facts.

Some people say: "Since God's essence has love, why does God still hate people? Doesn't God care about people?" The fact is that people's disposition, essence, and other aspects are incompatible with God and the truth, so that what people manifest and reveal before God disgusts Him and is detestable to Him. As time goes on, people's corrupt dispositions become more and more serious, their sins become more and more serious, and they are also extremely intransigent, steadfastly unrepentant, and they don't accept the truth at all. They are entirely at odds with God, hence His hatred is stirred.

III

God's hatred comes about because God's disposition is righteous and holy, and God's hatred is stirred by His essence. God abhors evil, detests negative things, and loathes evil forces and evil things. Therefore, God loathes this corrupt human race. So, both God's love and hatred that He reveals toward created beings are normal and determined by His essence. There is no contradiction at all.
