“God's love for us is uncoerced and so freely given…” quote by Mark Galli — Download Open image

“God's love for us is uncoerced and so freely given that it does not demand a response. But so freely is it given that it creates freedom in the recipient, so that our response is not one of obligation or duty, nor the returning of a favor, but uncoerced love.”
