John 15:1
King James Version
15 I am the true vine,
and my Father is the husbandman.
How did JESUS love?
What does the Bible say?
A lot, as you will see for yourself.
We have no idea how much JESUS loved the FATHER.
We have no idea His love and sacrifice for us.
But SPIRIT and Scripture will tell us.
How JESUS loved GOD:
John 6:38
King James Version
38 For I came down from heaven,
not to do mine own will,
but the will of him that sent me.
John 17:4
King James Version
4 I have glorified thee on the earth:
I have finished the work
which thou gavest me to do.
John 17:6-7
King James Version
6 I have manifested thy name unto the men
which thou gavest me out of the world:
thine they were, and thou gavest them me;
and they have kept thy word.
7 Now they have known that all things
whatsoever thou hast given me
are of thee.
John 17:8
King James Version
8 For I have given unto them
the words which thou gavest me;
and they have received them,
and have known surely that I came out from thee,
and they have believed that thou didst send me.
John 17:14
King James Version
14 I have given them thy word;
and the world hath hated them,
because they are not of the world,
even as I am not of the world.
John 17:26
King James Version
26 And I have declared unto them thy name,
and will declare it:
that the love wherewith thou hast loved me
may be in them, and I in them.
Philippians 2:8
King James Version
8 And being found in fashion as a man,
he humbled himself,
and became obedient unto death,
even the death of the cross.
By His very example, JESUS showed us how to love the FATHER.
In complete trust, faith, and obedience.
Can we do the same?
We should, for there's no other way to love.
But through what JESUS showed us.
That's why He is the WAY:
John 14:6
King James Version
6 Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me.
Now, it's time to see how JESUS loved us.
And continues to love us::
John 6:35
King James Version
35 And Jesus said unto them,
I am the bread of life:
he that cometh to me shall never hunger;
and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me;
and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

that of all which he hath given me
I should lose nothing,
but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me,
that every one which seeth the Son,
and believeth on him,
may have everlasting life:
and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 14:2-3
King James Version
2 In my Father's house are many mansions:
if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.

I will come again,
and receive you unto myself;
that where I am, there ye may be also.
John 14:16-17
King James Version
16 And I will pray the Father,
and he shall give you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you for ever;

whom the world cannot receive,
because it seeth him not,
neither knoweth him:
but ye know him;
for he dwelleth with you,
and shall be in you.

which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name,

and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.

whom I will send unto you from the Father,
even the Spirit of truth,
which proceedeth from the Father,
he shall testify of me:
John 16:7
King James Version
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth;
It is expedient for you that I go away:
for if I go not away,
the Comforter will not come unto you;
but if I depart,
I will send him unto you.
John 16:8-12
King James Version
8 And when he is come,
he will reprove the world of sin,
and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father,
and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world
is judged.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you,
but ye cannot bear them now.
John 16:13-14
King James Version
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come,
he will guide you into all truth:
for he shall not speak of himself;
but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me:
for he shall receive of mine,
and shall shew it unto you.

before the foundation of the world.

36 As it is written,
For thy sake we are killed all the day long;
we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things
we are more than conquerors
through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers,
nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature,
shall be able to separate us from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

16 For the Lord himself
shall descend from heaven
with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God:

17 Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air:
and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

for the redemption of the transgressions
that were under the first testament,
they which are called might receive
the promise of eternal inheritance.

that ye were not redeemed
with corruptible things, as silver and gold,
from your vain conversation received
by tradition from your fathers;

as of a lamb without blemish
and without spot:
Revelation 1:5
King James Version
5 And from Jesus Christ,
who is the faithful witness,
