I can't think of any reasons why an all powerful God would care if we believe in him...

If God actually loves his creation so much then why did he ordered his creation to be killed in the Bible?The True God loves us, that's why God cares. The True God YHWH was at some point in time, all alone, because he alone has no beginning. So at some point in time because of his love for life he wanted to share life with others. So he began bringing other life into existence at some point in time simply because of that love he had for life, and because he wanted to share life with others because of that love for life he has. So creation is an expression of God's love. That life God wanted for all his creation was eternal or everlasting life. That's how much he loves his creation. He wants his creation to exist forever.
So while it's true God doesn't want anyone to be destroyed but wants all to live forever, to have that everlasting life however, we have to show by the way we live our lives that we love YHWH God so much that we have faith that only YHWH God knows what's in the best interests of what he created(what is good) and what isn't in the best interests of what he created(what is bad). So only those who express that kind of love for God, and express that kind of faith in him because of their love for him, will get everlasting life.
So the fact that God loves us that much shows that he cares that we believe him simply and only because of our love we have for him. He cares that we express that kind of love and faith in him.
Only because God knows the intents of the heart as He will always destroy the enemy that comes against His own because He loves His own.If God actually loves his creation so much then why did he ordered his creation to be killed in the Bible?
I don't even want to go in the topic of great flood where God killed most of his creation at that time himself.
It seems to me that you don't really care to understand what was going on at the time God destroyed unrighteous human beings. You also don't believe that since God gave life that he is the only person with the right to take life from the living.If God actually loves his creation so much then why did he ordered his creation to be killed in the Bible?
God didn't order all of his creation to be killed. He put some to death because they had chosen a course that showed those particular human beings had no love for God so they were not exercising faith in God. When such human beings become a threat to his people then God will destroy those unloving unfaithful people to protect those who do love him and exercise faith in him. The scriptures from the beginning to the end, has always taught that it is those who love God so much that they exercise faith that its YHWH God who knows what's in the best interest of what he has created(what is good) or what isn't in the best interest of what he has created(what is bad).If God actually loves his creation so much then why did he ordered his creation to be killed in the Bible?

We're his children made in his image; he's called the Father becasue a traditional father figure is the closest human model of God - protector, provider, leader, counselor, restorer. He wants to be in our presence more than we want to be in his presence.I can't think of any reasons why an all powerful God would care if we believe in him...
