​Does God love me when I am following… and hate me when I am not?


God loves you absolutely, but He cannot approve sin—so when you are not following, His response is not “He hates you,” but “He opposes the evil and calls you back,” because He wills your salvation. 

Practical answer to your exact question

So to your question—“Does God love me when I am following… and hate me when I am not?”

  • God loves you when you follow.
  • God still loves you when you don’t follow. He does not become “hating” in Himself.
  • What changes when you sin is that God’s will for your good confronts you with truth, correction, and (if rejected) justice—which Scripture can describe with “hate” language because it is “hatred of evil” or “willed punishment,” not a change from love to cruelty. 1

God does not withdraw love the way you describe; instead, your response to grace determines whether you are aligned with that love.
