Unmerited favor is a Theological concept...not the definition of the word.

Thank you! It certainly paints God in a light that doesn't square with His sacrifice and when the Word says that "while" we were yet sinners, He died for us.
Unmerited favor, IMO, comes off as though God is always looking down on us while loving us at the same time.
Who would want a relationship like that? Who could be faithful to it?
