We are to pursue love (1 Timothy 6:11).
"Here in is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins, beloved if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another" 1 ( John 4:10-11).
God is love (1 John 4:6).
God loved us while we were his enemy and he paved the way for our forgiveness (Romans 5:10). And yet, if we reject his forgiveness and righteousness, we will receive his judgement (Romans 10:26).
God's love is displayed not only in mercy, but in judgment when mercy is rejected.
