The same way He treats His friends.

There are many who think God drowns, burn, and tortures His enemies. I don't think many see Him doing this to His friends. (I agree with your comment, BTW).

It has been suggested that we can learn more about someone's character by considering how they treat their enemies than by how they treat their friends. What can we learn about God in how He treats His enemies? Does He treat them (or will He treat them) any differently than how Jesus treated His enemies?

One of the clearest evidences of how God treats His enemies (those who have chosen to live apart from Him), is how God reacted after the fall of Adam and Eve. If ever there were humans that God had a right to be wrathful with, it was Adam and Eve. But that certainly is not the tone set out in Genesis.

Great point, Joy! We see how God treated Adam and Eve; He went looking for them, and provided for them, at infinite cost to Himself, just what they needed in order to be reconciled to Him.
We also see the effect sin had on their mind, by causing them to view God in a false way, as someone they should be afraid of.
