"We love, because He first loved us". (1 Jn. 4:19 NAS). "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners [children of the devil]…" (Rom. 5:8 NAS), He began the process to our adoption as His sons (Gal. 4:5-7). While I understand the pragmatical side, ultimately saying "no" to that question goes against the Gospel we preach.
