text: We love because God loved us first. (1 John 4:19)
  God loves us first. God loves us apart from our merits, without conditions.
  
  Does God change his mind, withdraw his love?  It would seem that She does not, at least not in the person of Jesus, who is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8).  He is not alternately Yes and No, but always Yes. (2 Cor. 1:19)
  
  God is love. (1 John 4:8)
  Love is not just what God does; love is Who God is.
  God cannot not love.
