I have heard this for the past 54 years of my life. But in Psalms 11:5, there is scripture to the contrary ("The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked [2] and those who love violence his soul hates", NIV).
I feel like the "God loves everyone" theology has come about with the prevalent 'pop grace' theology that stresses everyone gets grace and mercy and forgiveness but declines to mention repentance and turning from sinful behavior. It seems anathema that God doesn't love everyone, but it has become a bumper sticker.
I struggle with this some. I'd love to hear others' perspectives.
