Do You Believe That God Loves You Unconditionally?
What would it mean for me if I were convinced that God loves me unconditionally? When I hear that someone loves me unconditionally, it makes me ask some hard questions about what that really means. “Unconditional” really does mean totally and completely without any conditions. As humans this is nearly impossible for us to love that way. God’s love for me completely transcends who I am and what I do.
I am incredibly safe in truly unconditional love. God knows me better than I know myself, I don’t have to hide anything from him. He knows me and he loves me. It empowers me and gives me strength. This kind of love alters how I love others. Being around something real and authentic makes me want to be more like that.

God defines human love in 1. Corinthians 13:
1 Corinthians 13
Love Is the Greatest
1 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 3 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it;[a] but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
8 Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages[b] and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! 9 Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! 10 But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless.
11 When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 12 Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.[c] All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
13 Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
The only difference between us and God is that his love is unconditional and that no matter how often we fail, sin, or fall down he still loves us. This is mind boggling for many people as it is unconditional. God Bless
About 10 years ago in Hong Kong sitting at the end if a bed waiting for my kettle to boil for a cup of tea… I went in to a trance
Like state and my mind and me were walking through what seemed like a large library and it seem to be dark on both sides
as I walked down the center pathway which seemed very wide I could see figures or the shapes of figures reading and far in front of me a white light …As I walked a voice in my mind ,no not a voice a living thought said I could ask any question and it would be answered … I asked to see the structure of an atom ..hydrogen I think and there it was vastly beautiful and complex
It still amazes me though I really cannot recollect much.. Then I was offered anything I wanted .. and in that moment of Grace I refused to accept anything .at that moment I realized with even the greatest gift I could do more harm than good..the white light became very strong and I awoke crying having the total feeling of love ..unconditional and total love..I believe in some way I witnessed a revelation of God …I still talk to God I still occasionally cry and I am still in awe ..Has it changed my life? I don’t think so …but it has convinced me God is real ..God is there and will answer our call and God’s love is total and totally
Unconditional….simply he will always love us no matter what we do …he does not understand forgiveness because ..he always loves us totally and will always guide us , and help us ..but only if asked..because he gave us the greatest gift of life to choose or not to choose to ask….. This is my revelation may God use it to help all others.
idk what to think, maybe he loves us or maybe he doesn’t but what i do know is that ive asked him to let me feel his love but i have never felt his love, sure i can hear that he loves me, but i cant say i believe ive never felt his love
hmmm…i know that God loves us unconditionally…if not, why would he send His only son to come and die for us. But sometimes I find it hard to accept that He really loves me unconditionally because I have not been faithful to Him many times

I know that God loves me unconditionally. I do not question that at all. However, I have difficulty receiving that love. I have never been loved unconditionally and I don’t know how it feels. I truly love my children unconditionally so I am able to give that kind of love just not receive it. How do I learn to receive unconditional love?
Jason, check out John 3:16. If God didn’t love you as much as He does, He wouldn’t have given up His own Son for you, for all of us.
No!
I feel the same way Donna, but we need to believe that God is always there for us, and loves us more than just the servants He’s called us to be. He also calls us His friend. Hosea 2:16-20 is a good passage to check out to remind us of His love. Look at it this way; if God’s love is so uncomprehendable, it just means that it’s out of this world and better than anything anyone will ever experience. :)
I find this concept of unconditional love a little overwhelming and disconcerting. Since uncond. love is not very likely in this life, it is not something I can completely grasp yet. I know in my head that God loves me, I just have a hard time believing it with my heart, for me.
i do know that a walk with God is an ever growing thing… this I have experienced.And I know that the older I get the more I need Him for understanding and support.
