Your Greatest Need

And as I quote Keller he leads to the conclusion that the only person who can love us that way is one who doesn't need us. His conclusion is that only Jesus can love us that way because He doesn't need us.

Jesus is salvation. Jesus is the righteousness of God. There's no contradiction to what I said, you're just quick to argue because you like to hear yourself talk. You build a straw man and tear him apart. You're arguing against things I didn't say.

Our greatest need is Righteousness.... unconditional love alone will not get someone into heaven... there are people in hell today that are loved unconditionally by the Lord.... but they are still in Hell. It is only through righteousness, obtained through the shed blood of Calvary that one can enter into eternal life. The love may be a venue, or a mechanism of bringing it about... but the love is not what is needed ultimately.
