In John the 13th and 15th chapters he exorted his followers to love one another. “A new commandment I give, that you love one another”. I would answer your question with this quote. What did Christ truly want? For us to love one another.
If we’re truly loving each other we are also loving God, even if we aren’t aware of this, or even if we deny it. The most familiar verse states that we are to love God with all our hear, soul, and mind, and love our neighbor as ourselves. For me, if we’re doing either one, then we are by default also doing the other.
