This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they've done to our relationship with God.
This isn't the story that you see in fairy tales. But it should be. Most fairy tales have a female who needs to be rescued, a good prince, and a bad guy with his humorous sidekick. But in reality, this isn't how it works. The reality of humans is that we are more sinful than we could ever have dreamed. It's not pretty, life is tough, there is more hurt and pain than we would choose and it's all inflicted by other humans, it's not a storybook tale. However, the main theme of rescue still exists. But instead of being a helpless damsel in distress, we often continue on in the drudgery of life without realized the blood spilled and Life lost for our sake. "Once upon a time" would more accurately read "once for all of time God gave up His son to fix the damage we caused."
