Was

We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His

only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

God sent

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.

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor.
He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives,
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set free those who are oppressed,

so that all will honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.”

And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.”

Only

“I will surely tell of the decree of the Lord:
He said to Me, ‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.

He had one more to send, a beloved son; he sent him last of all to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

And the Word became flesh, and

dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

For to which of the angels did He ever say,
“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”? And again,“I will be a Father to Him
And He shall be a Son to Me”?

General references

You shall set the altar of burnt offering in front of the doorway of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you; therefore I command you this today.

On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”

For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.

Let love of the brethren continue.
