It's the new thing.....
The nature of God is love. He loves us because of who He is. It is His nature to love us. When we become His children, we become new creations. We become alive with the "God-nature". We then likewise have the nature of love. We don't have to ask God for His love, for we have it. Rather we ask God to teach us to love out of the nature we have been given, as He loves out of His own nature.
To say I love someone because I am supposed to, is to love with the nature of man. There is nothing wrong with this love, but it is a head love, not a heart love. It is a mental attitude that we have adopted. To love as God has told us to love is a heart love, and can only be done by those who are born from above.
