Consider these verses.....
Romans 5:8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:10-11 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
If God hated sinners, He would not have loved the world and died to save it and then offered, even commanded, all men everywhere to repent.
