As Michael Moudman puts it, "God does not merely love; He is love itself. Everything God does flows from His love. But it is important to remember that God’s love is not a sappy, sentimental love such as we often hear portrayed. God loves because that is His nature and the expression of His being. He loves the unlovable and the unlovely (us!), not because we deserve to be loved, but because it is His nature to do so, and He must be true to His nature and character."

The greek word for love used here in this verse is agape. The essence of this agape love is self-sacrifice. To read more, be sure to check out this short article, also by Mr. Moudman titled "What is agape love?"
