Answer 7

Follow his example.

Jesus was a man of tender warmth and deep feelings. Others thus found him to be approachable and kind. Even children felt at ease with him. (Mark 10:13-16) Jesus was impartial. He hated corruption and injustice. (Matthew 21:12, 13) At a time when women received little respect and had few privileges, he treated them with dignity. (John 4:9, 27) Jesus was genuinely humble. On one occasion, he washed the feet of his apostles, a service usually performed by a lowly servant.

Jesus was sensitive to the needs of others. This was especially evident when, under the power of God’s spirit, he performed miracles of healing. (Matthew 14:14) For example, a man with leprosy came to Jesus and said: “If you just want to, you can make me clean.” Jesus personally felt this man’s pain and suffering. Moved with pity, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched the man, saying: “I want to. Be made clean.” And the sick man was healed! (Mark 1:40-42) Can you imagine how that man must have felt?

Answer 8

The word of God as spoken through the prophets are captured in the [Christian] bible. There are four gospels that tell you of Jesus' life, execution, and resurrection. Each is written for a reason.

In the NIV, you will find 508 verses that use the word "love". I will limit myself to the 51 verses in the Gospels since you asked specifically what Jesus wanted us to do.

Now it is time for your to learn how to fish. There are on-line bibles that have search engines. I am using biblegateway.com. If you use this website, you will find Biblical verses to help.

Now to your question: John 15: 9"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. 11I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 14You are my friends if you do what I command.

Answer 9

You don't need scripture, and in fact may be better off without it, considering the hundreds of factual errors and dozens of internal contradictions found in it. Robert Heinlein defined it nicely: love is when someone else's welfare is essential to your own. That is all you need to know.

Answer 10

try 1 Corinthians Chapter 13

Answer 11

John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

This is not the greatest love possible but a statement of the limit of human love. If we go back to 15:12 Jesus said. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Thus a willingness and a presentment to die for each other is both the commandment and the limit of human love.

Having said all this, Jesus turned around and laid down his life for his enemies as well.

Then Jesus as spirit writes in I Cor. 13:4-8 Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. Does not behave itself unseemly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil; rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth. Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails...

According to this famous love chapter we are to both have love and to follow after it. We are not told how to love but to have it and follow after it. Is this not strange?

Now the Bible tells us plainly that through the new birth, that is the baptism of the Holy Ghost, the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by faith.

So I tell you that 1 Cor. I:13 is a description of God and His attributes as they should be expressed in us. So it is never a question of how you do it, but always a question of do you got it? Or a question of are you following after it?

Does this seem strange? The way Jesus wants us to love is exactly as He loved and only He can ever do that. So we must have the love of God in us first. Learning to love is not a project but His presence.

God is the how to, we are just the vessel. Problem is we do not really know the power of the God who is love. We think love is something we do or something that God does. No, love is what He is!

Many years ago I met a saint who truly stood in the presense of Christ in his daily walk. To stand near him was enough. To be near him was to be in the presence of Jesus. When we are in that presence we are in love and we are complete. There is no "how to" about it.

We work so hard at doing things for God. We will do anything to avoid taking ourselves out of the way so that his life lives in and through us. Then we can speak in love, walk in love, love in the spirit and show forth brotherly love for the saints of God. That love we show forth will do the rest and we should know to do a good work when it is presented to us.
