We all know of the love God showed to us in John 3:16 (see below)...
John 3:16
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
But....how about the love He shows us in 1 John 3:16 (see below)....
But....how about the love He shows us in 1 John 3:16 (see below)....
1 John 3:16
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
Real love is an action, not a feeling. It produces selfless, sacrificial giving. The greatest act of love is giving oneself for others. How can we lay down our lives? By serving others with no thought of receiving anything in return. Sometimes it is easier to say we'll die for others than to truly live for them - this involves putting others' desires first.
