God sent his son to die on the cross for all of our sins. NOT just the saved, but the unsaved. That is unconditional love to send your son(in essence yourself to die) for others. He loves us in our sin and in righteousness. He doesn't want anyone to be lost.

his love is unconditional, period. Why else would he chose to become human and be mocked and humiliated and crucified all on our behalf, so that we can spend eternity with him? That love is for ALL humankind, not just the "good" people.
remember how Jesus would hang out with the taxmen and the prostitutes? It was because he knew they needed to see that God's love was for them, too; he wasn't content to just preach to the choir, so to speak.
the best part of His love? That no matter how bad you fvk up, his arms are still open to you, because he thinks that much of you ...

Jesus certainly seems to have a different personality in the New Testament than the God of the Old Testament.
One might argue that the old testament god does not offer unconditional love. But, then it becomes an argument about the definition of "unconditional love".

Ah.....you see.....you aren't taking Scripture as a whole.
Jesus didn't come to change the law(s) of God, rather He came to fulfill the law(s) once and for all.
He knew man is in-capable of keeping God's law(s) so He took our place and paid our debt for our inability to satisfy them.

And no, His love is NOT unconditional. That is a myth that has been started based on recent psychology ideas.
His love may be all encompassing, but it comes with conditions. It may be hard to imagine that such love is offered to humans, but it comes with a condition. And it may be offered to everyone, but the condition is stated plainly. Start with John 3:16...
"For God so loved the world that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
The condition is belief.
Is His love to Christians unconditional?
No, they have believed on Him and now are His. He and they have fulfilled the conditions.
Does God love those who have died and never believed in Him?
