His side (love) - Page 2

Yet such is his all-embracing and infinite love that it does not become diffused by being bestowed on so many millions of persons.  On the contrary, it is concentrated in all its fullness and intensity on each individual.  Just as God in his love has created each single soul, and as each single soul has sinned and rebelled against him, so also in his love did he die for each single soul – for you and for me: infinite love bestowed in infinite measure.

And the character of that love is revealed by Christ's life and by his death.  In his love there was no element of self.  It was not for his own advantage that he came to our world, but only out of love for his Father who sent him and love for us to whom he was sent.
