If Gods Love had conditions, then they would certainly not be met by our frail humanity. The same holds true with the law, it was never kept or met no matter how hard men tried, until Christ Fulfilled it by understanding that the written letter of the law was only ever supposed to point us back to spiritual things. When He cried, “It is finished,” He met any condition that may have been required…
(
1 John 4:9,10,16):
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. ...
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
Eph. 1:6 -- To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein
He hath made us accepted in the Beloved.
While we may not see the words “Unconditional Love”. We can be assured that He met the conditions!
