John is saying that the love God has for sinners flows from the love that circulates everlastingly within the Trinity. As Jesus says, “as the Father has loved me, so I have loved you” (Jn 15:9). God’s love for sinners is not just the love of a single, Unitarian Subject. John is making reference to a triune love that flows among the persons of the Godhead. Not only concretions of the divine field of deity, these person make up a relational Being, a community of love and mutual indwelling.— Flame of Love, page 30
