The idea formally known as "love"

Do you know that there is no english word for the idea of love?

Now that might seem like a strange thing to say because I just used an english word there but if I was to use that word in a sentence you would have no idea what I was talking about without reading the context.

For example you might say you love your best friend or your wife or husband or your mobile phone. As an aside, if you do love your mobile phone I would prefer you don't use the word "love" instead say "luv" or simply use a little heart icon that way everyone will know what you are talking about and that you are thirteen years old.

Anyways, that's not the idea I'm talking about, I'm talking about unconditional love. Do you think you love anyone unconditionally? If you said "yes" without much thought I submit you have no idea what I'm talking about.

If the object of your love wronged you, hated you, dreadfully mistreated you and selfishly used you and still you held out your love receiving nothing in return that's what I'm talking about. That's how God loves us.

God doesn't love us more when we feel like we're good or obedient. He doesn't love us less when we've messed up. He loves us exactly the same.

Unconditionally.

In fact "God demonstrates His love for us in this, while we were still sinners Christ died for us". If God has poured out His love in our hearts like that what should we do with it?
