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.
8 But God recommends his love to us; because, while we were yet sinner, Christ died for us.
7 Now, scarcely for a just man will one die, though for a good man one would, perhaps, even dare to die.8 But God recommends his love to us; because, while we were yet sinner, Christ died for us.
23 For all, having sinned and come short of the glory of God,24 are justified freely by his favor, through the redemption which is by Christ Jesus:
35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will affliction, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
16 for God has so loved the world, as to give his own begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him, may not perish, but obtain eternal life.
3 amongst whom we, also, were all formerly conversant in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh, and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as others.4 But God being rich in mercy, through his great love with which he loved us,5 even us, who were dead in trespasses, he has made alive together with Christ; (by favor you are saved;)
4 But when the goodness and philanthropy of God our Saviour shone forth,5 he saved us-not on account of works of righteousness which we had done-but according to his own mercy, through the bath of regeneration, and the renewing of the Holy Spirit;6 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.
9 By this the love of God was manifested to us, that God sent forth his Son, the only begotten, into the world, that we might live through him.
10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent forth his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
16 By this we have known the love of Christ, because he laid down his life for us; therefore we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
Amar como Deus ama
O amor é paciente e bondoso. Amai os vossos inimigos. O amor incondicional se expressa no perdão e na compaixão.
4 Love suffers long, and is kind. Love envies not. Love does not vaunt; is not puffed up;5 does not behave itself unbecomingly; does not seek its own things; is not exasperated; does not imagine evil;
6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but greatly rejoices in the truth:7 covers all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
43 «You have heard that it was said,'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'»44 But I say to you, love your enemies; bless them who curse you; do good to them who hate you; and pray for them who arraign and persecute you;45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven, who makes his sun arise on bad and good, and sends rain on just and unjust.46 For if you love them only who love you, what reward can you expect? Do not even the publicans so?47 And if you salute your brothers only, wherein do you excel? Do not even the Pagans as much?48 Be you therefore perfect, as your father who is in heaven is perfect.
27 But I charge you, my hearers, love your enemies, do good to them who hate you,28 bless them who curse you, pray for them who traduce you.
8 And above all things, have fervent love to one another; for love will cover a multitude of sins.
