His love is different because it is all encompassing with no limitations, unlike human love which often has strings attached

Yes.
His love is Agape love.
Giving to the point of death and expecting nothing in return.
A love which surpasses human understanding.
We humans are incapable of pure Agape love.
We have erotic, filial, familial, parental, and we seek Agape love.
As CS Lewis defined love "Love is not affectionate feeling but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it may be obtained."
The transcendent perfection was evidenced by the resurrection. Death comes only as a result of sin - His sinlessness meant He simply could not die and remain dead.

I'm not really sure what you mean by transcendant perfection......
But God is perfect & God is love.
Human love could never compare to God's agape love

Yes.
And it differs in this way... perfectly unifying in contrast to partial unification.
"I am in the Father, you are in Me, and I am in you" is the description of perfect unification. If you are curious about this kind of love, this resource goes into some depth on it.

Using big words doesn't make you sound philosophical. Given me human love anyday---at least true human love doesn't involve killing animals or your children to show that love.

by being imaginary
human love is real, god's love is made up
