Re: Poll: Is Gods Love Unconditional
For those who say God's LOVE is not unconditional:
He showed His LOVE for us while we were yet sinners by sending His Son to die for us just so that we can have a realationship with Him.
If that's not unconditional LOVE, then what is it?
If we love Him, it's only because HE LOVED US FIRST-- while we were still wallowing in our own blood and waste, living under a rock, bound by all manner of iniquity and wickedness.
It's His LOVE (or KINDNESS) that even leads a person to repentance in the first place.
Christianity does not start with us.
Christianity starts with Him. His LOVE is demonstrated by His Provision and His Grace towards us.
HE LOVED US FIRST and there was nothing that we could do to earn His Love when He demonstrated (and demonstrates today) His Love.
You can't earn His LOVE, just like your child can't earn your love.
Are we not made in His Image?
Do we have a greater capacity to love our children more deeply than God who LOVES us?
He's the One who CREATED us, CREATED love, and fashioned our ability to even give and receive LOVE in the first place!
