Understood.
No, the "purpose" of God's love is not "to get people to feel it". That's like saying the purpose of water is to get people to drink it. Makes no sense. You drink it because you NEED it.
Like water, we NEED God's love because God is our source. Our nature is beings of love because we were created by an infinite being of love . We have an innate need for exchanging human and Divine love with others and ourselves.

Love has nothing to do with religion. Religion takes a few of its good qualities from love, not the other way around. So when I treat someone with love rather than religion, I do a far greater service to them than religion can.
