John 13:34 Jesus told the disciples to love as He loved. This is to love unselfishly, at all times. To truly love unconditionally you need Christ. Love is a principle.  1 Corithians 13:4-7 

When men are bound together by love there is evidence that the image of God is in them. 1 John 4:16.

How did Jesus show His love to us? 1 John 3:1 God did not look at our weaknesses instead He saw our need. Jesus prayed for us. In order to love as Christ did we need to pray for others  Jesus fed the hungry. How prepared are we to share what we have? Jesus loves those who do not love Him. We should be able to forgive those who hurt us and love them. We must desire the salvation of souls.
