“God’s love for us is unconditional; it is not a love drawn from God by something good in us. It flows out of God because of His nature. God’s love is an action toward us, not a reaction to us….We can refuse the love of God, but we cannot stop Him from loving us. We can reject it and thus stop its inflow into us, but we can do nothing to stop its outflow from Him. Grace is the unconditional love of God in Christ freely given to the sinful, the undeserving, and the imperfect.” - David Seamands, from Healing Grace
