WE CANNOT EARN OR DO ANYTHING TO GET GOD'S LOVE FOR OURSELVES. YOU WILL READ BELOW WHY. ROGER YOUR FRIEND
God’s love, as described in the Bible, is clearly unconditional in that His love is expressed toward the objects of His love (i.e., His people) despite their disposition toward Him. In other words, God loves because it His nature to love, and that love moves Him toward benevolent action.
1 John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
It is important to note that God’s love is a love that initiates; it is never a response. That is precisely what makes it unconditional. If God’s love were conditional, then we would have to do something to earn or merit it. We would have to somehow appease His wrath and cleanse ourselves of our sin before God would be able to love us. But that is not the biblical message. The biblical message—the gospel—is that God, motivated by love, moved unconditionally to save His people from their sin.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
Hope you and Tanya are doing well.
Blessings and grace to you,
Kelly
Gal_2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
WITHOUT FAITH THERE REALLY ISN'T ANYTHING ELSE LEFT. WE MUST HAVE FAITH. NOT A REQUEST. NOT A QUESTION. WE MUST HAVE FAITH. IT IS NICE TO KNOW HE WILL LOVE US EVEN IF WE DON'T HAVE FAITH. FROM PAST EXPERIENCE SOMETHING WILL BE MISSING. THE LIGHT INSIDE YOU WILL BE DIM. YOUR LIFE WILL SEEM AS TO BE WITHOUT A REAL DIRECTION OR PURPOSE. THOSE ARE THE THINGS I STRUGGLED WITH BEFORE ROGER HELPED ME COME BACK TO GOD. THOSE ARE THINGS NOBODY NEEDS TO GO THROUGH. EVEN WITH GOOD HEALTH IT MAKES LIFE HARDER. GOD MUST BE IN YOUR LIFE TO BE COMPLETE.
