RECEIVE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” 
John 3:16.

Love is not love unless it is unconditional. This is because true love is the unconditional commitment to the well-being of the undeserving.

Prior to when God gave His Son for the world, the world was living in sin and God hates sin; this makes the world undeserving of the love of God. Yet our opening scripture says, “For God so loved the world …” Hence, God's love for the world is unconditional because the world did not deserve His love because of her sins. Yet we see in our opening scripture that, “… he gave his only begotten Son,” This reveals the depth of God's love in that He loved the world so much that He was willing to give His best so that they can be saved. God by this singular act teaches us that the measure of love is self-sacrifice.

John 15:13 says, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”  Jesus who is God in the flesh went the extra mile to lay down His life for imperfect people which includes you and I. God gave His best for us to own the undeserving. Acts 20:28 says, “Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.” God gave Himself for you as proof of His unconditional love towards you.

In light of this, when you truly understand how much God loves you and values you, your attitude towards other people will change because you will realize that the same value that was placed on you is also the same value He places on everyone on earth. This consciousness will cause you to love everyone unconditionally and you will treat them with love in the same way God would have treated them. 

Prayer.
The love in me is greater than the hate in the world. The love in me is greater than the hurt in the world. The love in me is stronger than wickedness. I am the love child of a love God, born to reign and rule in this life, in the Name of Jesus.
