The condition of God's love is the cross

John Piper answers the question "Is God's Love Unconditional?" on the Desiring God blog. Justin Taylor said on his blog the best thing he's read about the subject is David Powlison's "God's Love: Better Than Unconditional." Taylor recommends reading both Piper's post and Powlison's booklet. I recommend reading anything by Piper and Powlison; both authors get to the heart of the matter.

The condition of God's love is the cross. All who lovingly, lastingly "look" to Jesus lifted up have been lavished with God's love. (Romans 3:21-26; Romans 5:8; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 1:3-9; 1 John 3:1-3)
