THREE CATEGORIES OF GOD’S LOVE

There are three categories to God's love.

 1.  Personal:  The object of God's personal love is perfect righteousness, both toward the other Members of the Godhead, and toward all believers to whom He imputes His perfect righteousness.

 2.  Spiritual self-esteem:  Spiritual self-esteem is His love directed toward His own perfect righteousness.

 3.  Impersonal:  Impersonal love is reserved for creatures after they fail.  It is directed toward mankind who is spiritually dead in total depravity.  The highest expression of God's impersonal love occurred when God imputed to His Son all our sins, and when Jesus Christ was willing to be judged for all our sins.
