Those who call it love to remain silent while people are going to hell or while those in the body of Christ are sinning against God, do not understand God's love.
God's love is first toward God and then toward man. When we love God first then we will love man God's way.
Proverbs 27:5
"Better is open rebuke than hidden love."
1 Timothy 5:20
"As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear."
Titus 2:15
"Declare these things; exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you."
2 Timothy 4:2
"Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching."
James 5:20
"Let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins."
Proverbs 27:6
"Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy."
Proverbs 1:23
"If you turn at my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make my words known to you."
There is no greater love than turning someone from their sin toward God.
