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 gives proof of his love to us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
7 Why, a man will hardly give his life for another, even for a righteous man, though perchance for a good man one might even take it upon himself to die.8 But God gives proof of his love to us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
23 since all have sinned and lack the glory which comes from God;24 but they are now being justified by his free grace through the deliverance that is in Christ Jesus.
35 What shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall anguish, or calamity, or persecution, or famine? Shall nakedness, or peril, or sword?
16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever trusts in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
3 And among them we all once passed our lives, indulging the passions of our flesh, carrying out the dictates of our senses and temperament, and were by nature the children of wrath like all the rest.4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,5 even while we were dead in our trespasses, made us live together with Christ (it is by grace you have been saved).
4 But when the kindness of God our Saviour, And his love toward men shined forth,5 He saved us, not because of any deeds that we had done in righteousness, But because of his own pity for us. He saved us by that washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit6 which he poured out upon 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 In this was the love of God clearly shown toward us, by his sending his only Son into the world, so 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 a propitiation for our sins.
19 We love because He loved us first.
16 By this we learn to know love, because he laid down his life for us; so we ought to lay down our lives for our 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 Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not; love makes no parade, is not puffed up,5 is not rude, nor selfish, nor easily provoked. Love bears no malice, never rejoices over wrong-doing,
6 but rejoices when the truth rejoices.7 It knows how to be silent, it is trustful, hopeful, patient, enduring.
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, and pray for those who persecute you.45 "So you will become sons of your heavenly Father; for he makes his sun to rise upon sinners as well as saints, and sends rain upon the unjust and the just.46 "For if you love only those who love you, what reward have you?47 "Even the tax-gatherers do that, do they not? And if you show courtesy to your brother only, what are you doing more than others? Even the Gentiles do that, do they not?48 "You then must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
27 "But to you who are listening to me I say, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,28 Bless those who curse you, pray for those who calumniate you.
8 Above everything have fervent love to one another; for love veils a multitude of sins.
