What does the Bible say about God's love being conditional?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that God's love is conditional, particularly regarding obedience, as seen in John 10:17.

In John 10:17, Jesus states that the Father's love for Him is conditional upon His obedience: 'Therefore doth my Father love me because I lay down my life that I might take it again.' This implies that if God's love for His Son is conditional, it is reasonable to understand that His love for us is also conditioned on our faith and obedience. The relationship we have in faith through Christ fulfills these conditions, enabling us to experience God's love through Christ's perfect obedience.
