Should I love God before I can love you? What does this mean?

Jn. 1: 4: 10a It is not that we love God, but that God loves us and sent His Son as a ransom offering for our sins. This is love.

Rom 5:8 But Christ died for us while we were still sinners, and God's love is shown to us here.

Jn. 1: 2:5 whoever keeps the way of the Lord, God's love is truly perfect in him, and from this we know that we are in the Lord.

Jn. 1: 5:3 We love God by keeping his commandments. His commandments are not difficult to follow.
