TRUE LOVE: UNCONDITIONAL or COVENANT ?
(1Jn 4:16) And so we know and rely on the love (The Heavenly Father) has for us. (EL elyon The Father) is love. Whoever lives in love; lives in (The Father), and (The Spirit of The Father) lives in us. (John 14:15-17)
What is True Love? The words of the Bible speak to our hearts. We long to be loved. Does the Creator of Life; Love everyone unconditionally?
Jn 14:15; Yeshua existed eternally with his heavenly Father in a perfect harmony of heart and mind. Their family name: Eloheyem, expresses unity and oneness, in their Spirit of Holiness. Yeshua, entered the physical creation, and lived obediently to His Father's Commands. Teaching mankind right behavior, which is love, towards His Father, and everyone. Love, is a relationship, dependent upon understanding, trust, and agreement in Truth. A covenant relationship, is based upon clearly defined rules, and boundaries. Equally protecting, and benefiting, the members in the agreement. All of creation, reveals the precision, of orderly design. The unchanging character, of the Father, and Son, maintain uniformity, in Their Law and Truth. The spirit of the Law, is the Genesis of Love.
Question: Can Love, be unconditional? Relationships may begin, through mutually shared interests. Growing and maintaining, social bonds, require the development of unifying goals, and desires. Contract law, delineates rules, of Association, principles for resolution of disagreement, and frameworks to dissolve unfaithful partnerships. Government, and families, are sustained, by a House of order. Marriage, by definition, is the union of two parties, into one. The hope, of a Perfect Covenant, is the intent, to continue united forever.
The idolatrous pursuit of ephemeral, UnConditional love, is like. Worshiping a stone statue, or uniting with a temple prostitute. Relationships, based on lies, are untrustworthy, and unfaithful. A prostitute, is a friend for money, and the idol, devours the children, within sacrifices. The sorrows, of unconditional lovers, are many.
But, True Love, is eternally Faithful, to those, who cherish Oneness in EL elyon, The Father, of Truth!!!
Why is Yeshua's Love, perceived as being unconditional? The Son, performed a perfect, living example, for everyone to follow. He became a pleasing sacrificial offering, of Love. By obeying, His Father's Commandments. The Father, and Son, share Their compassion, towards all people. Through the message, of reconciliation. His Love, is not unconditional. It is His kindness, that leads us to repentance. True repentance, requires a change of heart. Liberating us, from our captivity, to lawlessness.
Yeshua, desires to restore, everyone, to a faithful, and abiding, relationship with their Heavenly Father. So that, we may make our lives, a pleasing sacrifice, of love!

(1 Jn 3:21; 22; ) Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before (EL elyon The Father) 22 and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him.
The Heavenly Father loves to help everyone that keeps His commandments and glorifies His Love by serving others.
(1 Jn 4:6; 7; ) We are from (The Father), and whoever knows (The Father) listens to us; but whoever is not from (EL elyon ) does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood. 7 Dear friends, let us love (agape) one another, for love comes from (EL elyon The Father). Everyone who loves has been born of (EL elyon Spirit) and knows (The Father).
The Spirit of Truth is agreement with the Fathers commandments.
(1 Jn 3:9; 10; ) No one who is born of (EL elyon Spirit) will continue to sin, because (The Father’s) seed (the knowledge of His Son) remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of (The Eloheyem Family). 10 This is how we know who the children of (The Father) are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of (The Father); nor is anyone who does not love (agapon) his brother.
By receiving His Holy Spirit we are convicted in our hearts that we should obey His commandments and stop sinning.
(Pr 3:3; 4; ) Let love (kheh-sed - lovingkindness or mercy) and faithfulness (etem - truth) never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. 4 Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of (EL elyon) and man.
Love and faithfulness honor and glorify our Heavenly Father.
(2 Pe 1:3; 4; ) His divine power has given us everything we need for life (in the Eloheyem Family) through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
The knowledge of True Love strengthens our heart and mind to pursue holiness and perfection.
(2 Pe 1:5; 6; 7; 8; 9; 10; 11; ) For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, (obedience to The Father); 7 and to (obedience), brotherly kindness (philadelphian); and to brotherly kindness (philadelphia, love (agapen). 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of (Yehwah; Yeshua the Anointed). 9 But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins. 10 Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, 11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our (Yehwah) and Savior (Yeshua the Anointed One)
True Love grows through perseverance and practice of humble service to others and devotion to follow the example of our Savior.
(Psa 33:5; ) The (Yehwah) loves (ehab) righteousness (sedaqah) and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love (kheh-sed)

Everyone that does not believe, in The Son, will not turn away from evil, and unjust desires. Because they love, following Satan, and his spirit of lies.
(Psa 119:28; )50. My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word. 29 Keep me from deceitful ways; be gracious to me through your law. 30 I have chosen the way of truth; I have set my heart on your laws. 31 I hold fast to your statutes, O Lord; do not let me be put to shame. 32 I run in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free. 33 Teach me, O Lord, to follow your decrees; then I will keep them to the end. 34 Give me understanding, and I will keep your law and obey it with all my heart. 35 Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight. 36 Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain. 37 Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word. 38 Fulfill your promise to your servant, so that you may be feared. 39 Take away the disgrace I dread, for your laws are good. 40 How I long for your precepts!

Several words in the Hebrew language, portray varying aspects, of Love. The Hebrew patriarchs, were drawn to an understanding, of The Eternal's Faithful, Lovingkindness, and Mercy. The knowledge of The Creators Law of Love plants the seed of truth in the heart. The patriarchs walked with Eloheyem as a companion reflecting The Eternal's nature. The creation is designed to mirror love. The marriage union, conception and raising of children, and all relationships that benefit life come from The Father. The marriage bond is a powerful union of heart, mind, body, and spirit. Unfaithful unions for temporary sensual pleasures will extinguish the bond of love and betray the nurturing of life. True Loveliness is the Spiritual beauty of a heart devoted to protecting the bond of loving relationships. The Father and Son desire a Family united in Spirit of True Love which is Eternal Life.
(Malachi 2:5; 2:6; Psa 82:6; John 10:35; 10:36; 10:37; ).
The Greek culture recognized the natural affection between family members. The word Philo; means brotherly love. The family unit is an association of shared interests to preserve general well-being. The word Eros; is an expression of sexual intimacy that may be the part of a faithful marriage union or for adulterous pleasure. The ideal enduring Love transcends temporary emotional, sensual, or mutually shared desires. The word Agape; has a unique genesis and formula for True Love. The Biblical design of Agape maybe constructed by linking for parts of love together.
The first part is Honor your Heavenly Father as the origin of Life and Love. The Father is the Head of the Eloheyem Family and teaches unchanging truth (Malachi 1:6; ).
The second part of Agape is Obedience to The Fathers commands, which is agreement with His Spiritual Law of True Love. Obeying every Word of The Father is Living Faith in His Instructions (Matt 4:4; ).
The third part is Service to others. The Father provides opportunities to mature our talents and abilities that are beneficial for life (Matt 4:10; 6:24; 20:26; 20:27; 20:28; John 13:16; 13:17; 12:26; ).
The fourth part is Sacrifice which is the fulfillment of True Love. True Love motivates our hearts to pursue caring for others by imaging The Father's Love for His Family (John 14:9; 15:13; ).
Agape is True Love and Righteousness.
