One, just as they are one… “I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. 1 John 4:7-8: "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." 1 John 4:16: "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them." Example: I asked God to teach me, and I wanted the power to preach like Jesus. I was simply told to “Love like Him!” Jesus spent time with the Father… John 15:9, NKJV “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.” Romans 5:8: "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." 1 John 3:16: "This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters." God Loves Us With the Same Love He Has for Christ. Jesus doesn't merely say that God loves us. He says the Father has “loved them as You have loved Me.” • John 14:10-11: "Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me..." John 17:23 "I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me." One, just as they are one… John 17:21-22 "...that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—"
