God's love for humanity is described as a covenant - a binding agreement where God makes promises to his people. This covenantal love from God is unconditional, unfathomable, unchanging, unceasing, and unstoppable. It is motivated by God's very nature, which is love. The document urges responding to God's covenantal love with both fear of God and love of God, as fearing God without loving him can lead to legalism, while loving him without fearing can lead to disobedience.
