God's Love Never Increases Or Decreases

God loved us while we were yet sinners, dead in our trespasses of sins. He doesn't love us more starting from the moment we accept His Son, Jesus Christ, into our hearts as Lord and Saviour — He greatly rejoices, but He doesn't love us more. And He doesn't love us more when we do good works for Him — He is pleased and His heart is blessed, but He doesn't love us more.

"But God demonstrates
His own love toward us,
in that while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us."
Romans 5:8 (NASB)

God's love for believers and non-believers is the same. Jesus Christ died for all people, even the worst of sinners. There is no period in time when God's love for a person increases or decreases.


God's love does not rise or drop like the temperature measured by a digital thermometer. His love is perfect, steady, and unconditional. That is why God is always reaching out with Jesus in His outstretched arms, pleading for those who are unsaved to accept His free gift. God doesn't want to look with a broken heart upon those whom He loves but is not able to deem holy and righteous before Him.
