1Jo 4:19 We love Him because He first loved us.
1Jo 4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
We are not saved by our love for God. Rather, we are saved by His love for us as expressed in the cross of Calvary.
And we show our love to Him by obeying His commandments, by doing good works etc. We do good works not to be saved. We do good works to show our THANK YOU and express our I LOVE YOU to the Lord Jesus for saving us.
Salvation is not about our love for God, it is about His love for us sinners as seen in Calvary, if we trust in it.
