There are no conditions for receiving God's love. He loved us before we were ever saved. Salvation comes through Jesus Christ because He loved us and that is what it cost Him to get us back.
Exercising faith towards God is a product of His love, not a condition. He loved us before we exercised it. Same with repentance. Faith is required to come into the salvation that God has provided because He already loved us.
There is a requirement to being saved...faith. Before the Christian comes to that place of faith, God already loves them. God's love for us preceded the condition necessary for salvation. He loved us before, so He certainly loves us now after we have come to Him in faith.
You are making a grave error in trying to identify the conditions pertaining to all aspects of our salvation, with God's love.
Concerning (Matt. 7:22-23), Christ says He never knew them. They were never His. Christ knows those who are His. (John 10:14)
My, my, more rewording to make grace appear repugnant. Where did I say working iniquity is ok? I didn't. I said God's love is unconditional toward His people. You assume the other. You want to make God's love conditional so as to place the believer under some sort of law, that he must do to keep both his salvation and God's love. Disgusting.
God does judge His people. But His judgement does not affect His love for us. The One who loved us and died for us will be our judge. Let me put it another way. Our sin does nothing to influence God's love for us. It, our sin, did everything to initiate from Him a salvation to get us back. That is the unconditional love of God.
What does the fall of Satan have to do with God's love for us? Nothing.
