God does love all His children, but not all men are children of God. There are men who call Satan their father, and beckon to his call (John 8:44). We can easily know who is a son of God, brother to Christ, and joint-heir to the treasures of Heaven - he who loves Jesus as recognized by his unconditional obedience to the will of the LORD without reservation (John 14:15). Making an effort to go to Heaven isn't of the slightest bit of interest to God (Matthew 21:28-31). Obeying every single command is (James 2:10).
