Love is the sum of God's character/nature:
Truth
Holiness
Goodness
Righteousness
Justice
Mercy
Grace
The Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible defines Love as
H157
"look toward the house" or "provide for the family".
In Genesis 2:15, the duty of man was to dress and to keep, which is also translated as to serve/provide and to watch/guard.
The Lexicon description and the Gen 2:15 wordings are similar.
God's ultimate expression of his love was Jesus, Our Shepherd (watch) and the Lamb sacrifice (provide)
God does not require us to do the same thing in the same manner.
What God requires of us is to be
True
Holy
Good
Righteous
Just
Merciful
Graceful
Through our Lord Jesus Christ to build the Loving relationship God requires of us!
1Jn 4:19-21 KJV 19 We love him, because he first loved us. 20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
