Love is at the core of God’s being, and it has been for eternity. But what is love? God’s love is chiefly displayed in the revelation of Jesus, not simply in the cross but also in the resurrection and God’s sanctifying work in us. God's love is unconditional, and it's not based on feelings or emotions. He doesn't love us because we're lovable or because we make Him feel good; He loves us because He is love. He created us to have a loving relationship with Him, and He sacrificed His own Son to restore that relationship.
