God is love

God's nature and love is different to ours. Human minds are not 'programmed' to fully understand it. God's sovereignty is an example of this. He hates sin, but allows it and wants us to overcome it. He hates us to suffer, but allows it to happen. He created Satan, who is ultimately under His control. There are so many apparent paradoxes, from a human point of view. We can only accept them and seek to obey God, even though it may at times (not always) conflict with our human logic.
