God’s Gift To Us Unconditional Love

Matt 5:43-48 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 

Conditional love is based on meeting a specific condition. God's gift to us is not dependent on whether we were worthy. God so loved us; He gave His Son to us for our salvation. 

Is the covenant between God and his people conditional or unconditional? Yes. Yes. Jesus came and fulfilled the conditions so God could love us unconditionally.

Father, thank you for your unconditional love.
