Love one another like I have loved you

What does this mean to you:






Any thoughts?

I have never ever been loved by one person on this whole planet the way Jesus wants us to love, but then I haven't loved anyone the way Jesus wants either.

It must be really hard to enter the narrow gate, but I'll keep trying.

I believe that's only possible if you have love in your heart for God to share with the least of your brothers and sisters.

I learned from a teaching Chuck Swindoll gave years ago the Greek word most used for love in the new testament

Gal 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."

Rom 5:5 "Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us."

John 15:4-5 “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing."

John 15:9-10 "Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. 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."
