God's love is unmerited because it is given freely without regard to any human actions or worthiness.
Romans 5:8 states, 'But God commended His love towards us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.' This passage emphasizes that God's love does not depend on our righteousness or good works; it is an expression of His grace towards unworthy sinners. Similarly, Titus 3:4-7 elaborates that the kindness and love of God, our Savior, appeared not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy. This highlights that our salvation and acceptance into God's family are entirely based on His grace, rather than any merit on our part. Recognizing this unmerited love compels us to live in gratitude and obedience to the God who gave us such an incredible gift.
