Proclaiming God's love and kindness to all
We proclaim God’s description of love. God is love ( 1John 4:8). In love, God does not force Himself on anyone. Those who come to Him do so in response to His love. In love, God shows kindness to all. In love, Jesus went about doing good to everyone without partiality. In love, Jesus did not covet what others had, living a humble life without complaining.
But [Jesus] made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross (Philippians 2:7,8).
In these last days all who have truly given their hearts to the Lord are being brought into the obedience of Jesus Christ.
God's Description of Love
The greatest expression of God’s love is communicated to us in John 3:16: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
Following The Examples Of Jesus Christ
In love, Jesus willingly obeyed His Father in heaven. “The world must learn that I love the Father and that I do exactly what my Father has commanded me” (John 14:31). In love, Jesus was/is always looking out for the interests of others.
If you love me, keep my commandments
The death on the cross was dreadful, degrading, shameful and agonizing. But Jesus was obedient to that death; He made Himself of no reputation. As Jesus humbled Himself, we too, must humble ourselves in the presence of God. He came as a servant, and now we must be His servants.
