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.

God stayed faithful to His promise although we were unfaithful to Him, betrayed Him and killed Him. He expressed it by accepting death in order to compensate for our sins. Furthermore, He commands us to love one another in a similar manner (Jn 13:34).
