He who believes in Him is not condemned but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God ( John 3:18).Jesus answered and said to him, “ If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him…” ( John 14:23).It is interesting to examine further, however, whether God’s love is truly unconditional, especially when looking to other Scriptural references, even some of those said by Jesus Himself, for example: The word agape is used to represent divine love it is the greatest gift from God to all mankind ( 1 Corinthians 13 and John 3:16). There are four Greek words for love: eros(intimate love), storge (family love), philia (friendship love), and agape (unconditional love). Such love and acceptance can only be given by a self-sufficient being like the deity. However, God’s love is often described as unconditional because humans, deep in their hearts, long to be loved and accepted without conditions or reservations. God’s love, as revealed in the Bible, is eternal ( Psalm 136), perfect ( 1 John 4:16-18), unfailing ( Psalm 33:5, 143:8, Exodus 15:13), and infinite ( Ephesians 3:16-19). Either conditional love or unconditional love is a humanistic psychological term and not actually found in the Bible.
