Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Csaba Ban: Literally, yes. But people in Hungary would much more often say "szeretem Jézust" (I love Jesus)

agree  Eva Blanar: but I don't agree with Csaba: God is a universal term, Jesus is purely Christian and in several countries "Christ" would be used.

agree  Ildiko Santana: I love God=Szeretem Istent. God=Isten; Jesus=Jézus; Christ=Krisztus. There's a difference, but it has little or nothing to do with the fact that gabw's answer is correct as it is. :)

Explanation:
I think the translation eiter can be "szeretem Istent" or "Istent szeretem". The difference depends on the context. "Hiszek Istenben"= I believe in God would be better in the 1st case because "szeretem Istent" is rarely said in H. everyday lg. It sounds a bit curios.
The 2nd one gives more emphasis to God, because "Isten" is in initial position and carries a choice.It excludes everything but God. I feel more Faith in the latter case. I can imagine the statement in a literery work.
Otherwise, Hungarian lg.(gramatically) makes it possible that we use both alternatives.
