Commentary on John 5:42
Jesus' penetrating diagnosis—'ye have not the love of God in you'—identifies the core problem. He's not saying they don't love God, but that God's love is absent from them (objective genitive). Without receiving and being transformed by God's love, they cannot recognize or receive His Son. Love for God flows from experiencing His love.
