The Dangers of Love

The Christian understanding is that we all fall short. No matter how hard you try to love God, you'll never love Him like you should or put it another way. We would owe him to love him the Supremely because we owe him everything. He can't just say, I forgive you; who bears the cost? That's what Jesus did on the cross. And so if loving God is what saves you, no. It's God's love of you that saves you. The relationship with God is what you're built for and without which you'll never be saved.
