Ephesians 5:1-2

No one will ever love us like God…no one! 

We are only able to grasp the concept of unconditional love because He first loved us. He created us to abide with Him and in Him in unity. My prayer is that we will filter our opinions and actions based on His Word. He gave us the teachings of the Christ for a reason….to guide us into eternity with the Godhead.

unconditional |ˌənkənˈdiSH(ə)n(ə)l|
adjective
not subject to any conditions


We are the representatives of Christ to those who believe and especially to those who do not. May we show His love for them every where we go!

Believers are to follow the example of GOD’S actions. He loved us when we were still His enemies. As imitators, believers should demonstrate that type of self-sacrificial love. The NKJ study bible


Ephesians 5:1–2 (NKJV)
5 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.

36 Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. 
Luke 6:36

But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another; 
1 Thessalonians 4:9

“As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 
John 15:9

16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 
1 John 3:16

14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. 

2 Corinthians 2:14
