Quotes about Unconditional
There's nothing you can do to change the fact that you're a son. When you gave your life to Christ, you were born into the family of God. You can't get unborn. You can't make a mistake that's too big. You can't get too far off course. You may disqualify yourself, but God never disqualifies you.
- Joel Osteen

Mercy unearned undeserved, unnecessary. If it isn't all of those it isn't Mercy. If you think people have to earn it, deserve it, or it is necessary to do it, you have lost the mystery of Mercy and forgiveness
- Fr. Richard Rohr
God's love is perfectly free. It is not coerced by any of our good actions, nor can we lose it because of our bad actions. We are stuck with it and cannot increase-or decrease-God's love for us by anything we do or don't do.
- Fr. Richard Rohr
