Top 10 Best Jesus Quotes That’ll Motivate You to Love God and Others

Jesus Christ is the ultimate example of love. His sacrifice that many across the world celebrate every Easter Sunday demonstrated that his love was worth following. He conquered death, after all. So when Jesus said, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have lovedĀ  you, so you must love one another” in John 13:34; so we ought to look to him for how to do that. Here are some Jesus quotes that will motivate you to love God and others.

Top 10 Best Jesus Quotes About Love

1. But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. –Matthew 5:44-45

(Jesus said it and he did it; so we can be motivated to strive for this, too. And that’s only one of the Jesus quotes about loving others.)

2. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. –John 3:16-17

(When we learn about God’s great big love for us through Jesus quotes and other Bible passages, and we really believe it, it’s a motivational tool for us to love others, too.)

3. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. –John 15:9

(Again, Jesus’ love is equal to His father’s love for us.)

4. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? –Matthew 5:46

(Jesus calls us out for loving only those who benefit us, but when Jesus paid it all on the cross, he did it for us….those who didn’t yet love him.)

5. Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. –John 14:1

(When we begin to realize that we can trust Jesus and rely on Him, this allows us the freedom to start looking outward and love others, too.)

6. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. – Luke 14:11

(We can learn from Jesus about humility; He came to earth as a baby in a manger. When we humble ourselves, we put ourselves in our correct place and are reminded of who God is and how God created and cares for others. This can help us to put others above ourselves by serving them and by showing our love for God as we treat His created beings with dignity.)
