Paul's Writings Underpin Western Thought
RE: Paul's Writings Underpin Western Thought

19 Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. 20 For by works of the law no human being[a] will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. 26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

You cannot get the view you posted out of Paul's writings.

This seems a confirmation of what I said, not a refutation of it. Perhaps the view that God loves us is some sort of consolation and we're supposed to rest our self-worth on that, but to say that one "cannot" get the other message out of Paul seems laughable and nothing more than stale apologetics.
