Eph 5:2, Jn 15:12-13, 1 Jn 3:23, 1 Jn 4:10-11
Jesus sacrificed his life to save us. The love of Jesus was the love that saved our souls. We, too, should have the love that saves souls. (Jn 13:34-35, Jn 15:12-13, Eph 5:2)
Jn 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
Jn 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Eph 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
God's commandment is to believe in Jesus as the Christ and love people to save their souls. (1 Jn 3:23, 1 Jn 4:10-11)
1 Jn 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
1 Jn 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
