As you go through life, you will experience many different kinds of love. But there's one love that's unlike any other, and that's the love of God.
His love is perfect and unchanging. It is pure and unending, it’s amazingly beautiful and it's available to you no matter what you've done or where you are in life. There is absolutely nothing you could
Like this Content on Facebook have said or done that would have made Him stop loving you. His love for you is unwavering, it is steadfast and it does not depend on who you are but on who He is.
God, Himself is love and when you experience His love, it can often be overwhelming. His love is so relentless and pure that it can be difficult to understand. However, even though it’s difficult to understand it’s easy to experience, and when you allow yourself to experience God’s unconditional love, it can change your life forever.
What Is God's Unconditional Love?
To be loved by God unconditionally means to be loved by God without any conditions or expectations attached. God’s unconditional love is not based on anything we have done or anything we can do; it is simply a gift from Him.
It’s a love that is perfect, complete, and always there for us, no matter what. It’s a love that is completely free and given to us simply because we exist. This kind of love is often hard for us to understand because we are so used to thinking that love must be earned. We often think that we have to do something to deserve love.
We think we have to do something to deserve love because when we love someone, we do so with conditions—we love them when they are nice to us, when they make us feel good, or when they behave the way we want them to. But God’s love is different.
His love is unconditional, His love is pure, His love is the essence of who He is, and it can’t be taken away.
See, according to 1 John 4, love is not something God chooses to give us. Love is who God is, He doesn't just love, He is love. To know Him is to know love and to know love is to know Him.
So we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him 1 John 4:16
Therefore, when seeking God’s love, it’s important to remember that you are not seeking something that God has to give you – you are actually seeking something that God is. And because God is love, when you seek His love, you’re actually seeking Him.
