1 | Is God's love unconditional ? | John 3:16 | Radioman2 | 91613 | ||
God's love is not based on the merit of the recipient. Deut. 7:7-8 (ESV) It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the Lord set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples, [8] but it is because the Lord loves you and is keeping the oath that he swore to your fathers, that the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Romans 5:7-8 (ESV) For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— [8] but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. |

2 | Is God's love unconditional ? | John 3:16 | Michaelogical | 91623 | ||
It seems clear then from Deut. that the "condition" of God's love is His oath. The "US" in Romans seems to represent believers. The "condition" of that love is still the cross. Perhaps we should just throw out the term "unconditional" it does not seem to be a biblical word or concept. |

3 | Is God's love unconditional ? | John 3:16 | Radioman2 | 91631 | ||
Michaelogical: I did not say that God's love is not based on anything. Nor did I once use the word condition or conditional in my Note. I merely said what I said, which is: "God's love is not based on the merit of the recipient." It seems to me that the REASON for the oath is God's love. Not the other way around. The result of God's love is the cross. This is not the same as saying the condition of God's love is the cross. Look at the order found in John 3:16. God's love precedes the giving of His only begotten son. Grace to you! Radioman2 |
