How to Find Love Without LimitsWho wants love that sets conditions? “If you hurt my feelings, I'll stop loving you.†“If you don’t quit that habit I don’t like, I'll stop loving you.†“If you break any of these rules I set, I'll stop loving you.â€
Many people have a wrong idea about God's love for them. They think it's based on their performance. If it were, not a single human being would qualify.
No, God's love is based on grace, a free gift for you, but paid for at a terrible price by Jesus Christ. When Jesus voluntarily sacrificed himself on the cross to pay for your sins, you became acceptable to his Father through Jesus' merit, not your own. Jesus' acceptance by God will transfer to you if you believe in him.
That means for Christians, there are no “ifs†when it comes to God's love. Let's be clear, though. We don't have a license to go out and sin as much as we want. As a loving Father, God will discipline (correct) us. Sin still has consequences. But once you accept Christ, you have God's love, his unconditional love, for eternity.
When you're trying to find love, you'll have to agree you won't get that kind of devotion from another human being. Our love has limits. God's does not.
