If we are being forgiven it increases our love for God because we will have peace and His light will shine upon us.  The earth was created for man; man was created for fellowship with God, and God is eternal.  An "age" of sin and rebellion has interrupted the purpose of God, but that has not changed God's intention to have fellowship with man forever.

The coming of the word into the life of man, the death of Christ on the cross for our sins, and the resurrection of the Lord from the grave for our salvation has altogether provided for the saving of all those men who through faith come to God in Christ. 

If God did not love us, He would not have given His only Son Jesus Christ to come and die for our sins.

The dwelling place of God is with men, and he will live with us.  We will be his people, and God himself will be with us and be our God.
