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 commends His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.
7 For one will with difficulty die for a righteous one, yet perhaps one would even dare to die for a good one.8 But God commends His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.
23 for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? [Shall] tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
3 among whom we also had our way of life in times past, in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love [with] which He loved us5 (even when we were dead in sins) has made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved),
4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared,5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,6 whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
Amor eterno
Com amor eterno te amei. O amor de Deus é mais largo, mais alto e mais profundo do que podemos compreender.
3 Jehovah has appeared to me from afar, [saying], Yea, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving-kindness I have drawn you.
26 Oh give thanks to the God of Heaven; for His mercy [endures] forever.
5 Your mercy, O LORD, [is] in the heavens; Your faithfulness [reaches] to the clouds.
17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for the time of trouble.
9 In this the love of God was revealed in us, because God sent His only begotten Son 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 His Son [to be] the propitiation concerning our sins.
19 We love Him because He first loved us.
16 By this we have known the love [of God], because He laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brothers.
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 Charity has patience, is kind; charity is not envious, is not vain, is not puffed up;5 does not behave indecently, does not seek her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil.
6 Charity does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth,7 quietly 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 those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you,45 so that you may become sons of your Father in Heaven. For He makes His sun to rise on [the] evil and on [the] good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax-collectors do the same?47 And if you greet your brothers only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax-collectors do so?48 Therefore be perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect.
27 But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who despitefully use you.
8 And above all things have fervent love to yourselves, for love will cover a multitude of sins.
