How do we know that God's love for us is unconditional?
Answered in 1 source
God's love is unconditional as demonstrated through His covenant promises and redemption of unworthy sinners.
God's unconditional love is evidenced through His actions in the covenant of grace. The story of Mephibosheth illustrates this truth; despite being a cripple and unworthy, he is sought out and shown kindness by King David, echoing how God reaches out to sinners. Romans 5:8 states that 'while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,' affirming that God's love is not based on our merit but on His sovereign grace. David's declaration to Mephibosheth, 'for Jonathan's sake,' reveals that the motivation for grace is rooted in the love of another. This points us to Christ, whose love for us is the basis for all blessings.
