If God loves you and me, fallen sinners, with just as much passion and depth as He loves Jesus, the Sinless One, then we can only conclude that His love must transcend the dark reality of our sinfulness. Our sin does not alter, lessen or put off His love. It is a changeless, undying love that cannot be quenched by sin's ugliness. It must be a love, as well, that predates any good deeds that we may do , and is, in fact, the only means by which good deeds that are truly good may be achieved in our lives. Because God loves us in our sinfulness, just as He loves Jesus in His sinlessness, we must believe that His love is a constant, immovable reality that is not dependent on our goodness . Rather, we are utterly dependent on the revelation of God's love to generate any real goodness in us."
