Q15: Does God love us unconditionally? Love requires some conditionality; relational nature of love

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 16) 00:56:18 – 00:57:50

Response to multi-part question about God's unconditional love

Mike argues "unconditional" requires clarification. God's love is at minimum conditional on the object being human (not a rock). He argues performance-conditionality is largely absent — God does not love us because of our deeds. However, love is relational: an offer of love requires mutual acceptance to be fully expressed. Those who reject God cannot receive the full expression of love that is offered.

@KuiperBelt117 Interesting. I changed my view away from Reformed soteriology when I stopped binge listening to RC Sproul messages and started reading my Bible and letting it speak.
