Love is a one way street because love is unconditional. God loved us although we rejected Him, were unfaithful to Him and killed Him. When we are nice to some one because they are nice to us, it is not love; because, our niceness is conditional to the other party being nice. Similarly, if we love, only if the other party loves us back, it is not love, because it is conditional. Those who exercise true love, love, because, they love love. In other words, they love, because, they love God who is love. Furthermore, they love God; because, in Jesus they have seen the fullness of God’s love.

Your post brings to mind a few bible verses. First, Luke 6:27, 32 "But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,… "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.Also, by your last sentence there I am reminded of the passage about those who are forgiven much, love much, and those who are forgiven little, love little. (see Luke 7:37-50) Oh, and obviously I need to include 1 John 4:19 We love, because He first loved us. And nice to meet you. I see this is your first post here.
