"To make perfect reconciliation (which Christ is said in many places to do), it is required, first, That the wrath of God be turned away, His anger be removed, and all the effects of enmity on his part towards us; secondly, That we be turned away from our opposition to him, and be brought into voluntary obedience. Until both these be effected, reconciliation is not perfected. Now, both these are in Scripture assigned to our Saviour, as the effects of his death and sacrifice."
John Owen The Death of Death in the Death of Christ The Banner of Truth Trust, 1967 With Introduction by J. I. Packer p. 151. 

Rom 5:6-10 "For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person--though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die--but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life."


He is the Absolute Love.
