Love is the unconditional giving and receiving of My life in you ; for I am Love Incarnate , the Father's unconditional gift to His beloved world. All who love with single-mindedness and self-giving are in eternal life. And they share the joys and cost of this reality in time , and the reward of faithfulness in eternity. The Son of Man Who gave Himself for man's salvation calls every beloved child of the loving Heavenly Father to union with Himself in absolute self-giving.
