If God loves unconditionally, then His wrath is meaningless, unless you want to redefine wrath as agape love.

Ezekiel 33:11

“Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?”

God's wrath does not mean that He hates the unsaved. He does not change, He wishes that NONE should perish...yet we know that too many love their sin more and are blinded by Satan, their father...He is no respecter of persons...

Of course, His salvation IS conditional, as we should all know :)

God is able to have mercy on the wicked because He poured out His wrath on His Son.

Isn’t the condition that we accept Jesus’ sacrifice? I mean God loves us all but we have to be cleansed through Christ. So is it really unconditional?

Hi Mantis!
His salvation is not unconditional, agreed! But, His love (I believe) is unconditional :)
No other way to the Father BUT through Christ. If one claims biblical Christianity, that is. !
God bless!
