John 15:13-14 “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.” Primarily, we think of Christ’s death on a cross. But His love is shown in many other ways.

Man was created in the image of God. No other creature was given a soul, or an eternal inner man. Gen. 1:27.

The Bible is a gift of God’s love. In it God speaks to us by His Son. Heb. 1:1-2. The Holy Spirit brought the Bible to mankind. 1 Pet. 1:11. God’s Word will endure for all time. Mark 13:31 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” Each person needs to study and obey the Bible, in order to be saved. I Tim. 4:16.

The church, a token of God’s love. It was bought by the blood of Christ. Acts 20:28. The Lord adds the saved to the church. Acts 2:47. The church is the Bride of Christ. Eph. 5:25-27, The Bride must remain watchful and pure, always ready for the return of Christ. Matt. 25:13.

Promise of eternal life grows out of God’s love. John 3:16. All material things will perish. 2 Pet. 3:10. Christians will become immortal, and will live forever. 1 Cor. 15;52.

But Christ is the greatest manifestation of God’s love. “But God demonstrated His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Rom. 5:8. Our Lord went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed of the devil. Acts 10:38. He suffered and died for mankind. Matt. 27:28-35. But Christ was resurrected for the benefit of mankind. Matt. 28:6-7. Salvation through Christ began to be preached, 50 days after Christ’s resurrection. Acts 2:31-41. Christ is also our High Priest. “For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathized with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.” Heb. 4:15.

To enjoy all the benefits of God’s love, become a Christian: Believe in Jesus, Heb. 11:6; Repent of your sins, Acts 2:38; Confess Christ, Rom. 10:9-10; Be baptized into Christ, Acts 2:38, Rom. 6:3-5. Remain faithful, Rev. 2:10.
