Bible Question:
what does romans 5:6-8 say about Gods unconditional love |
Bible Answer: I don't ever recall reading that God's Love is unconditional; it isn't. Read Ro 1-11 and especially notice: Ro 11:17. But if some of the branches were broken off and thou, being a wild olive, wast grafted in among them and didst become partaker with them of the root of the fatness of the olive tree, 18. glory not over the branches but if thou gloriest, it is not thou that bearest the root but the root thee. 19. Thou wilt say then, 'Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.' 20. Well, by their unbelief they were broken off and thou standest by thy faith. [If you are indeed in God's "one faith" - the exact faith of Ro 1:16-21; Eph 4:4-7 that was written to expound the critical command in Mt 6:33.] Be not highminded but fear, 21. for, if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee. 22. Behold then, the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell - severity but toward thee - God's goodness, if thou continue in His goodness, otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 23. And they also, if they continue not in their unbelief, shall be grafted in. For God is able to graft them in again. Also, read Jn 15:1-17 for a very similar lesson. |
