Barnupcrik,
I believe God and his son love us unconditionally. Here is a good place to start:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcionism.
Marcion of Sinope, in the 2nd century developed these ideas and was excommunicated for them. If God is vengeful and wrathful then people obey out of fear. They are easy to control.
But the Savior taught: Love God, Love your neighbor. That just about covers it. God is omniscient and all powerful, he doesn't need our stuff or our submission. He loves us and would like it if we would love him.
That's sort of a brief overview. Thanks for asking.
