1 John 11-12

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.

God is the example of love toward us, and we are meant to be examples of that love with others. Just as we were drawn to God through the love, He showed us by using regular, ordinary people.   Love changes us on the inside, and people around us are significantly affected in positive ways. God can only reach the people who need to hear of His love through us.
