I am looking for quotes to illustrate that common grace does, in fact, stem from the love of God. It is God meaning them well, rather than merely a vengeful God with the intention of giving the reprobate more rope by which they hang themselves (though this be the result).
It is God's true kindness...not a trap. God's disposition is to bless his creatures, not fatten them up for the slaughter. Now, there are some verses that speak in an ironic tone of how the wicked set a trap for others and God leads them into it (they dig a pit but themselves fall in). Yet, these verses do not seem to contradict God's general kindness towards all.
