That love brings us back to John 3:16. Where we are reminded that:
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (New International Version)
That love, where "God so loved" is described in the
New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology
as, "one of the central ideas that express the whole content of the Christian faith (cf.
Jn. 3:16
)."
Let's repeat that, "the whole content of the Christian faith."
That love described in John 3:16 is more than an emotion. It is a guiding principle, a call to action and the very foundation of faith.
