The Demonstration of Love
The Demonstration of Love
9 “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. 11 “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
11 “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
Biblical joy is an inner contentment and peace that comes from a relationship with God, rooted in faith and hope, rather than being dependent on external circumstances or worldly possessions.
12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” 37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
32 “But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.
10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.
9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.
16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. 17 These things I command you, that you love one another.
19 We love Him because He first loved us.
