Is God's Definition of Love Unconditional?

How would you describe the love of God: is it unconditional? How does knowing that God is love translate into our personal behavior? Does knowing God is love mean that we're free then to live anyway we want because God is somehow obligated to "love us" regardless of our behavior?
