And love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Herein{G1722}{G5129} is{G2076}{(G5748)} love{G26}, not{G3754} that{G3756} we{G2249} loved{G25}{(G5656)} God{G2316}, but{G235} that{G3754} he{G846} loved{G25}{(G5656)} us{G2248}, and{G2532} sent{G649}{(G5656)} his{G846} Son{G5207} to be the propitiation{G2434} for{G4012} our{G2257} sins{G266}.

In this is love (agape): not that we loved (agape) the Elohim, but rather that He loved (agape) us and sent His Son as the kapparah concerning our deviations.
The F.O.G*
[10] This is what real love looks like: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice that removes our sins. He made the first move toward reconciliation!In this is sacrificial love: not that we truly loved Yahweh, but that He truly loved us and sent His Son for our redemption, as the pleasing sacrificial atonement for our sins.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins.
