John 3:

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Does God still love the world?

Yes.

loved
ἠγάπησεν (ēgapēsen)
Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular

The aorist tense is often translated as the English past tense but it can also be used in other contexts, such as in narrative sequences or to express general truths.

Young's Literal Translation:

for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave.
Even the English past tense does not always imply that the verb (loved) is no longer true in the present.
