- Unconditional love (Rom. 5:8) – not something we earned or deserved.
- Volitional love (Dt. 7:7; Eph. 1:6f) – an act of the will. A choice no matter what He felt.
- Intense love (Jn. 13:1; Eph. 5:2, 25) – depth of commitment; focus; burning desire.
- Unending love (Jn. 13:1; Rom. 8:38f) – He loved all the way to the finish line (even with Judas).
- Unselfish love (Phil. 2:5-8) – He had an attitude of unselfishness that showed up in His actions.
- Purposeful love (Eph. 5:26f) – He had a plan to make us holy and right with God.
- Sacrificial love (Eph. 5:2, 25; Gal. 2:20; I Pet. 3:18; Rom. 5:6-11; I Pet. 2:24) – He laid down His own life so we could live.
- Demonstrated love (Jn. 10:1-14; 14:1-3; 13:34f; 15:9f; Rom. 8:32; Phil. 4:13, 19; Heb. 4:14-16) – He didn’t just talk about love, He modeled it. His actions spoke as loud as His words.
