The bible only supports god loving a select few people so yeah you can't exactly use it.
To start out with you don't know because you truly do not understand the way in which God's loves. When we think of love we think of Storge' Eros or philia, (Google 4 greek forms of love) as that is all the word usually means to us.
However God offers everyone Agape' A love based on a respect and or favor depending on how you look at it.
In essence God promises ABC for anyone willing to do 123. The love is in the open invitation and willingness to treat all of us to this opportunity.
That said Once you accept the initial invitation your eyes and ears will be open/receptive to God and you will begine to see other types of love manifest through God to you. Storge'/fatherly love and Philia or a friendship with the Holy Spirit/Christ.
