Here is what I refer to.

I am thankful that His love, just like His grace and mercy isn't dependent on anything that I do or not do.

Jesus said his love
IS dependent on something we do.
John 15:10
10
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
Jesus love is conditional.
Is grace dependent on anything we do?
James 4:6
6But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but
giveth grace unto the humble.
It seems that to receive grace there is something we must do.
So to believe or teach Gods love and grace is not dependent on anything we do would be overgeneralizing would it not?
And if it were true that his love and grace were in no way dependent on what we do then osas doctrine would obviously be true.
