Therefore, “…This is REAL LOVE…” (1 John 4:10 NLT). “…This is REAL LOVE—NOT that we loved God…” (1 John 4:10 NLT). “…THIS IS LOVE: NOT that we loved God, but that he… [really]… loved us …” (1 John 4:10 NIV). “…THIS IS LOVE: NOT that we loved God, but that he …[really] … loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins…” (1 John 4:10 NIV).

God wholeheartedly LOVES mankind FIRST. He “IS” their FIRST “REAL” love. “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…Herein is ...[REAL]…love, not that we loved God, but that HE [first] LOVED US...” (1 John 4:10 KJV).
God loves FIRST. God knows and intends for mankind to BENEFIT from his REAL LOVE for them. “…God SHOWED HIS …[REAL] … LOVE FOR US by “SENDING” Christ to die for us WHILE we were still sinners…” (Romans 5:7-9 NLT). “… the just for the unjust, that he might BRING US to God…” (1 Peter 3:18 KJV). Obviously, God’s REAL LOVE is “NOT” “…self-seeking…” (1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 NIV).
