Bible Question: I have often heard it said that God's Love is unconditional. John 3:16 is quoted to prove this. Is God's love unconditional, or are there conditions ? |
Bible Answer: Is God's love unconditional? YES IT IS. I think that John 3:16 is one of many verses that indicate this. According to John 3:16 what is the purpose of Jesus dying on the cross. I think that Salvation is conditional. It is for those who believe, but Jesus' death carried the sins of the entire world, both the saved and the unsaved. And He did this because He loves us unconditionally. Let me ask you this, how do you define Unconditional Love? What words would you use to discribe it?? |
