Christ is put forward as the example of how we should love, and that is the most effective argument. How great was Christ’s love? What kind of love was his? Christ voluntarily gave himself up to death because of his great love for us—the greatest love anyone could have, in fact. The apostle asks us to imitate him.

God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with Him.
– Jim Elliot –
The Christian thinks any good he does comes from the Christ-life inside him. He does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us; just as the roof of a greenhouse does not attract the sun because it is bright, but becomes bright because the sun shines on it.
– CS Lewis –
Salt seasons, purifies, preserves. But somebody ought to remind us that salt also irritates. Real living Christianity rubs this world the wrong way.
– Vance Havner –
Are we not told to seek first the Kingdom of God—not the means to advance it—and that all these things shall be added to us? Such promises are surely sufficient.
– Hudson Taylor –
God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which he must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves.
– AW Tozer –
The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God.
– CS Lewis –
Through Christ we see as in a mirror the spotless and excellent face of God.
– Clement of Rome –
The future is as bright as the promises of God.
– Adoniram Judson –
