They feel loved and accepted. They learn that they no longer have to prove themselves or earn God's love. He sent His Son to die for you. You are precious to Him. He wants to affirm you, make you whole, and give you back your humanity.
People respond to that love.
When they find that kind of love, they want to know Jesus and love Him back. He goes on to say what that love will look like. Certainly, there is more to agape love than mere words. The love Jesus commands is a love that is manifested not only in words and song, but in deeds. Those words are inscribed on the headstone of Dawson Trotman, founder of the Navigators, who drowned while saving lives after a boating accident in upstate New York.
