Is there love without love for God?

[arunangelo]

To Love, we must love God. God is the Spirit of love. Therefore, to love others, we must first accept God’s spirit; and to accept his spirit, we must love Him. Love has no place for hate, because pure love hates no one. We can, therefore, never love God, if we hate even one person. To love God, is to express the love, Jesus expressed for us on the cross. Our love, therefore, must be pure, unconditional, total, selfless and sacrificial. Furthermore, we should avoid sin, out of pure love for God and our fellow human beings, and not out of fear of punishment.

What you describe is perfect love. Definitely a goal every Christian should pursue.

In answer to the question you pose in the title: yes, in this world, there can be those who love without loving God. We are created in the image and likeness of God and therefore have the capability of loving. Obviously loving someone without loving God is an imperfect love, marred by our propensity toward sin and rebellion.
