Does God really love everyone?

Jesus is not only capable of loving people of all religions, He does. The Bible clearly states that He loves everyone, without condition. In 1 John, it says God is Love. God never changes so Jesus loves-everyone. Thats why a sinless God would come to earth to wrap Himself in flesh and live for ONE reason alone-to die. Did He die once all of us starting to acting "good"? Romans 5:6-11 says it much better than I can......."You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation."
That's love, not religion. Religion is just another way to try to solve the problem of sin-but has been and will continue to be an epic failure. Nothing we create, dream up, or traditions we follow can forgive our sins. Only Jesus can. I think its awesome that God and Creator of the whole universe (including me), who is holy and righteous (completely without any fault) in every way, died just to have a realtionship with me. He loved me enough, despite knowing all the wrong I would do, to have Himself nailed to a cross to bring me near to Him. Thank you Jesus:)
