Luke 19:10 10 “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Matthew 20:28 28 … the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

11. God brought Himself low for you.
Philippians 2:5-8 5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!

12. God gave everything for you.
John 3:  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. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

John 15:13 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

1 John 4:19 19 We love because he first loved us.
