God Quote-Greater Love

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the LORD says in John 15:13.

Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

Jesus expressed His love for His friends, and proved it by His actions. Jesus went to the greatest degree of love for us so that we might experience God’s forgiveness and freedom. He paid the ultimate price by the shedding of His blood. Philippians 2:8 says, “Being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death-even death on a cross!”

By our disobedience, we waged war against God. But by God’s love for us, Jesus came to turn us back to Him as faithful followers and friends. His grace is the agent of change that we need to experience peace with God.

John 15:13-That’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for life.
