God Loves Conditionally.

In no Scripture is there a statement, or even a clear inference, that “God Loves Us Unconditionally.” Rather, God’s Love for Believers is quite conditional upon the following specifications:

1.) By the Condition of Sovereign Choice. Romans 9:13, “Jacob I have Loved, Esau have I hated.”

2.) By the Condition of God’s Inherent Nature. I John 4:8, “God is Love.”

3.) By the Condition of Believing on Jesus. Acts 167:312, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”

4.) By the Condition of Obedience to God. Matthew 7:21, “He that doeth the will of my Father which is in Heaven [shall enter Heaven: .”

5.) By the Condition of Confession. I John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins.”

6.) By the Condition of Perfect Forgiveness of Others. Matthew 6:14, “If you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.”

Those people who do not meet the above specifications from God will be damned, and thereby will no longer be Loved by God. According to the definition of Agape in I Corinthians Ch. 13, we know they will no longer be Loved by God as they are in Hell because it is not kind to send a person to Hell, because God is seeking His own by sending them to Hell, and because He is failing to Love them after they go to Hell. The billions of Godless souls slain according to The Book of Revelation of Jesus Christ are not being Loved by God because they have not met His conditions for acquiring His Love.

It is best to refrain from formulating speculative conclusions about the very nature and action of God, but rather it is wise for Believers to carefully follow what Scripture specifies.
