How is God's love different from human love?

Answered in 1 source

God's love is sovereign, particular, and unchanging, unlike human love which can be inconsistent and conditional.

The love of God vastly differs from human love in its foundation and expression. While human love can fluctuate based on circumstances or emotions, God's love remains constant and sovereign, stemming from His unchanged character. Scripture affirms that God's love is not merely a passive sentiment but an active commitment that entails justice and holiness. For example, in John 15:13, Jesus exemplifies this love through sacrificial action, laying down His life for the sheep. Unlike human love which can sometimes be self-serving or conditional upon certain behaviors, God's love is graciously extended to those He chooses, irrespective of their actions, underscoring the depth and richness of His divine affection.
