But God is not in the business of injuring me. He is in the business of healing, strengthening, and helping me.

From what I've learned so far, He most certainly does test us and our faith, He does allow consequences and all of which He uses for our growth, no matter what it might look and feel like to us and the world at the time. His Ways are not our ways and vice versa.

I've also read that not all have His Seal, especially not in the end, even among those who claim to be His own.

Working out a timeline in my head, I think we're living in the Grand Illusion prequel part of the end of days. Check the view screen and then reread Paul's first letter to the Romans 24:32.

I also think that we, the people who used to be His people, are getting some consequences. Recheck the view screen again and then reread Ezekiel 28.

See what I mean? Yes, He intends to save us all, but...

I didn’t say everyone would be saved because those who do not receive Jesus will tragically die in their sins.

But the mistake the church generally has made, but is slowly beginning to change, is believing the lie that God is mad at people. “God loves the world” (John 3:16). The sins of the whole world have ALREADY been judged on the body of Jesus Christ who has done all the heavy lifting leaving the act of being saved the easiest thing one could do because now it is by grace which is the gospel, the good news, not the bad news.

“Call upon the name of the Lord and you shall be saved.” Not all will, but it cost God who loves the world his Son to give everyone the opportunity.
