Another reason why we should love Jesus is that we want to copy Jehovah. “The Father loves me,” Jesus said. Do you know why he loves Jesus and why we should too?— Because Jesus was willing to die so that God’s will could be done. (John 10:17) So let’s do what the Bible tells us: “Become imitators of God, as beloved children, and go on walking in love, just as the Christ also loved you and delivered himself up for you.”
To build appreciation for Jesus and for what he did for us, please read John 3:35;15:9, 10; and 1 John 5:11, 12.
Jesus said love your enemies no matter what, thats something only he can say!
Do you appreciate what a wonderful thing Jesus did?— When you pray to God, do you thank him for giving us his Son?— The apostle Paul appreciated what Christ did for him. Paul wrote that the Son of God “loved me and handed himself over for me.” (Galatians 2:20) Jesus died for you and for me too. He gave his perfect life so that we can have everlasting life! Surely that is a strong reason why we should love Jesus.
The apostle Paul wrote to Christians in the city of Corinth: “The love of Christ puts us into action.” Into what kind of action should Christ’s love put us? What do you think?— Notice Paul’s answer: “Christ died for everyone so that they would live for Him. They should not live to please themselves.” —Italics ours; 2 Corinthians 5:14, 15, New Life Version.
