Thanks to Stan Reeves for a thougtful posting on "God's love (or lack thereof)
for sin and sinners".  I just wanted to add another thought into the pot.

As children of Christ, being washed in the blood, we are no longer "sinners"
but are free from the bonds of sin and death.  This is not to say that we
have no sin.  If we say that we make Him a liar (I John).  Instead, if we
do sin, we have an advocate with the Father and can stand before the throne
spotless and pure.
