Well, I must agree with you on the comment that Love is the only path to God. It is my understanding that God's sacrifice of his son was an act of love. So yes he died for our sins but it was as you said the act of love that is of the up most importance. The dying for our sins does not remove our sins but rather it shows us what God is willing to do for our love in return. The death of Christ was to free us of sin....for love. In my opinion they are both correct. The freeing of sin was to show God's love for us. So therefore when Christ came to Earth to die for our sins he was dying for our love.
