John 3:16 ESV
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
This love is an action, not infatuation or a sentimental notion, but an act of good will toward men. Jesus came in love for all mankind, but He does not love all men, for He knows what is in each heart.
The love God seeks is the intimate relationship of His Spirit with the spirit of man that has become one, which reflects the intimacy and relationship within our God who is three in one. This is why we can say God is love, because that is part of His indivisible essence.
For some reason, He extends His love to us through the giving of His Son, which is the giving of Himself. He seeks those who will do likewise.
