THE LOVE OF CHRIST

Chad Ramsey

Certain truths demand attention. Because it is easy for us to lose focus in our fast-paced world, we

need to be reminded that some matters are more important than others. Such is the case with regard to

the subject of Christ’s love. If anything is emphasized in Scripture, it is that both God and Jesus love

humanity. Concerning the love of the Father, Jesus declared: “For God so loved the world that He gave

His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John

3:16). In his letter to the Romans, Paul likewise stressed the reality of God’s love and noted: “But God

demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans

5:9). And John beautifully wrote: “In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent

His Son to be the propitiation for our sins” (1 John 4:10).

The love of Christ is described in similar terms. Whatever understanding we might seem to have of

love, it is defined or refined by Jesus. Making this point, John stated: “By this we know love, because

He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren” (1 John 3:16).

Essentially, Jesus sets the standard for us (John 15:13). We are challenged to follow His example as we

deal with one another (John 13:34). His love is both transformational and motivational. So Paul wrote:

“For the love of Christ urges us on” (2 Corinthians 5:14 NRSV).

As much as anything else, the love of Christ enables us to overcome the trials that we face in this

life. Emphasizing this, Paul addressed the Romans: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written:

‘For Your sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.’ Yet in all these

things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:35-37).

To know the love of Christ is to know ultimate concern. His love teaches us that we are all valuable

in God’s eyes. No wonder Paul prayed for the Ephesians “to know the love of Christ which passes

knowledge” (Ephesians 3:19)!
