8but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
19 We love because he first loved us.
1 John 4:19
God has always loved us, even when we didn't/don't love Him. In some ways it's similar to the unrequited love one might feel for a crush, where you love another regardless of how they feel about you. The difference is that we usually fall in love based on our limited knowledge of the other or who we think they are. God knows absolutely everything about us and still chooses to love us. We can "fall out of love" with the other as we learn more about them or when they don't live up to our expectations. We may fail to love God, but His steadfast love never fails because He's already aware of all our failings.
