God does love all people.
2 Peter 3:9
Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
But God is giving us a choice of where we want to be, with Him, or without Him.
Its not suffering that gets people to heaven. Its learning that our sinful and selfish choices result in suffering, which makes us want to do things God’s way instead of our way. Thus, we become willing to submit our wills to His will, because we see that His will is the better choice.
How would people freely choose selflessness if they have not yet first learned of the negative consequences of selfishness? Has anyone ever seen someone automatically chose selflessness? One of the earliest words most children learn to say is “mine” and parents need to teach them to share.
Genesis 2-3 teaches that God did create heaven (the garden of Eden) on earth, and people chose independence and self-sufficiency instead of heading God’s warnings. People did not trust God when they lived in Eden with Him.
They go to heaven. 2 Samuel 12:23
