What's the difference between the meaning of 愛 ai and 恋 koi? Is it like Ai means Love towards a friend or relative, and Koi is Love towards your boyfriend/girlfriend, spouse, etc?

Koi is pretty much what you described - romantic feelings and love. Ai is much more broad. It includes koi and all the other kinds of love - it is "love" in its most general sense.

My Japanese friends said that ai is the kind of love Jesus has for us - unconditional. Koi being romantic in nature.

Koi means fall in love, love is more deeply than koi. It means affection, with no reward. I hope this helps you.
