Jesus said,
“Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” (Jn. 13:34)
How We Are to Love One Another
The time frame? — none given suggesting always
The means? — as Jesus has loved us
The extent? — as Jesus has loved us
The reason? — because Jesus has loved us (1 Jn. 4:19)
What Happens When We Don’t Love as Jesus
When we don’t love one another as Jesus loves, we …
disobey the greatest commandment (Matt. 22:37-40).
deny people the reality of the greatest evidence of Christ in us (Jn. 13:35).
settle for less than who we can be for love is the greatest characteristic (1 Cor. 13:13).
So, let’s learn to love more and more.
