Amor incondicional
O amor incondicional de Deus não depende de mérito humano. Ele nos amou quando ainda éramos pecadores. Esse amor não tem limites, não cobra preço e não pode ser perdido.
Amor sem condições
Deus prova o seu amor em que Cristo morreu por nós sendo nós ainda pecadores. O amor de Deus é gratuito e irrevogável.
but God commends his love to us, in that, we being still sinners, Christ has died for us.
For scarcely for the just man will one die, for perhaps for the good man some one might also dare to die; but God commends his love to us, in that, we being still sinners, Christ has died for us.
for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus;
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? tribulation or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal.
among whom we also all once had our conversation in the lusts of our flesh, doing what the flesh and the thoughts willed to do, and were children, by nature, of wrath, even as the rest:
but God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love wherewith he loved us, (we too being dead in offences,) has quickened us with the Christ, (ye are saved by grace,)
But when the kindness and love to man of our Saviour God appeared, not on the principle of works which have been done in righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, which he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
Amor eterno
Com amor eterno te amei. O amor de Deus é mais largo, mais alto e mais profundo do que podemos compreender.
Jehovah hath appeared from afar unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn thee.
Give ye thanks unto the ·God of the heavens; for his loving-kindness endureth for ever.
Jehovah, thy loving-kindness is in the heavens, and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.
The friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
Herein as to us has been manifested the love of God, that God has sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins.
We love because he has first loved us.
Hereby we have known love, because he has laid down his life for us; and we ought for the brethren to lay down our lives.
Amar como Deus ama
O amor é paciente e bondoso. Amai os vossos inimigos. O amor incondicional se expressa no perdão e na compaixão.
Love has long patience, is kind; love is not emulous of others; love is not insolent and rash, is not puffed up, does not behave in an unseemly manner, does not seek what is its own, is not quickly provoked, does not impute evil,
does not rejoice at iniquity but rejoices with the truth, bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Ye have heard that it has been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who insult you and persecute you, that ye may be the sons of your Father who is in the heavens; for he makes his sun rise on evil and good, and sends rain on just and unjust. For if ye should love those who love you, what reward have ye? Do not also the tax-gatherers the same? And if ye should salute your brethren only, what do ye extraordinary? Do not also the Gentiles the same? Be ye therefore perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.
But to you that hear I say, Love your enemies; do good to those that hate you; bless those that curse you; pray for those who use you despitefully.
but before all things having fervent love among yourselves, because love covers a multitude of sins;
