Jesus gave up His life in exchange for ours. He laid aside His deity and He who had no sin became sin to put an end to its hold on man. We must love others in the same manner that He loved us and that His Father loved us. No greater gift will anyone give than the gift of eternal life in Christ Jesus with the Father who created them. We remain in Him if we keep His command to LOVE. Love conquers all!
The love of God the Father for God the Son is the measure of the love of the Son for believers. Christ loves believers unconditionally. The supreme example of love is Jesus' humility in sacrificial service.
9 "As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.
11 "These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. 17 These things I command you, that you love one another.
