The love of God is a wonderful and amazing thing!
Many people when talking about spiritual things or the truth of God will always focus on and fall back on this one aspect of the character and nature of God...His love.
We at dontperish.com would indeed agree this is an important aspect of God.
In the world famous John 3:16 verse we read this about God:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
What this verse tells us is that God has loved man already and done all He will do to show that love.
It ...WAS... expressed in Christ's perfect life, death and resurrection to gain eternal life for those who follow Him in faith and holiness/obedience as fruit. That is AMAZING love and we proclaim it to others all we can! It is called the gospel and read or listen to it here:

Knowing that love has come we must not ignore other great truths. God has given us His Holy Word and Jesus said we live by ALL of His Word not just some of it. (Matthew 4:4) To over focus on love; ignoring holiness, sinful ways and full obedience to Him is to miss out on much He left us to follow and cling to. God's love does not condone sin, worldliness, carnality or outright disobedience to His Word. (See Romans 6) God so loved you.... now you MUST obey His Word / Jesus Christ.
You may not think so but verses like this also talk of a form of God's love:
2 Thess 1:8

In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
Many people do not realize this love fact........
God by His character and nature indeed LOVES His justice and righteousness as well! (so much so he wont EVER compromise it for man)
Do not be fooled by that which is religious error/human love as it compromises and follows the flesh most of all. It is our hope that you know the love of God.... expressed in Jesus Christ. If you have the love of God on your life, that means you are born again in Him seeking all truth with the hope of eternal life to come if you endure in that faith. 1 Cor 15
But do not be a compartmental Christian to your own demise.
God's love is amazing but if you ignore His love at the cross and His love of holiness, obedience, purity to His Word and His New testament church ways for His people; you may in the end miss heaven and face His wrath.
***** God is love indeed but which love will you face?
1) His love shown at the cross because you had faith, repented, were born again then walked in full obedience and holiness (not your ways or man made denominational false religion) as fruit your His all of your days to the end.
2) Or... will you face His justice ( He loves justice / righteousness) as He casts you; who was rebellious/sinful/disobedient (you chose your way or man made religion over His Word) into outer darkness with weeping and gnashing of teeth.
In John 14;15 Jesus said this...........
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
We pray it is the love of the cross you face and we are here to help you in that.
