The love of God makes us God-lovers

"God loves you," is a very nebulous phrase. Depending on the hearer, the words 'God' and 'love' can have a wide range of meanings. So let me attempt a Biblical explanation.

God: the One who created all things for His own glory, who before eternity chose some to eternally see and enjoy His beauty.

love: to act in a way that is truly and lastingly in the best interest of the other.

The love of God makes us God-lovers, because loving Him is the most true and lasting happiness in the universe. Not only that, but God-loving makes us people-lovers, and defines that love.
