God so loved that He gave, He forgave, He sacrificed, and He saved. He is commanding us to love not in word only, but in deeds. If our faith and love do not compel us to action, then how can they profit us or anyone else?
Pure Love as described in 1corin.13 which is perhaps the most poetic, profound and powerful description of pure love written and of course, Christ is the embodiment of pure love.The apostle Paul's prayer for the family of God was that as Christ dwells in our hearts by faith, and we are rooted and grounded in his love,That we may be able to comprehend, the breath, and length, and depth, and height, of Christ love for us; to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge. It is a love that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from. Love is not having knowledge of God, but knowing God. The love of God is a reflection of God's heart flowing through Christ, one spirit, one heart, one mind.
Jesus loved all people so much that He was able to endure the pain and shame of death on a cross. that all who believed might have everlasting life. As we draw upon Jesus' unselfish love, we too can better love others.
