Giving The Same Love To Others, Jesus Gave To Us.

 

Today's verse is 1 John 4:11

Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 

    Herein is the Standard of what Love is: Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Yet, God did show greater love, But God commendeth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. And again, For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. This is the love by which we have our example, it is by this love that we ought to love one another. When Jesus died for you, what did you have to offer him? Therefore, when you love another, is there anything that you should expect from them? When Jesus died for you, did he hold anything back? Therefore, when you love, is there anything that you should withhold? This is the example, this is the standard of the Love our God wishes that we show our neighbor, but especially our Brothers and Sisters in Christ. Amen.

To God be the Glory
