We show such love by actions rather than by words alone. 5:1, 2) We “go on walking in love” when we manifest this quality in every aspect of our life.
Paul exhorts us: “Become imitators of God, as beloved children, and go on walking in love, just as the Christ also loved us and gave himself for us.” ( Eph. Jesus said: “No one has love greater than this, that someone should surrender his life in behalf of his friends.” ( John 15:13) Can we imperfect humans imitate the love shown to us by Jehovah and Jesus? Yes! Let us consider how we can do so. 10:9, 10) No human could show greater love. By this ‛will’ we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all time.” ( Heb. Paul wrote: “ says: ‘Look! I have come to do your will.’. Jesus proved his love for mankind by willingly carrying out God’s will. The love is in this respect, not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a propitiatory sacrifice for our sins.” ( 1 John 4:9, 10) Because of God’s love, we can obtain forgiveness, hope, and life. The apostle John stated: “By this the love of God was revealed in our case, that God sent his only-begotten Son into the world so that we might gain life through him. His greatest act of love toward mankind was that of sending Jesus to suffer and die for us. ( 1 John 4:8) All his works and actions bear witness to his love.
“God is love.” Indeed, Jehovah is the very essence of love.
