Great love behind this gift: &#8220;Greater love hath no man.&#8221; God loved so much!<br \/>\n3. His love did not stop short of action. True love gives of self. He gave his only son.<br \/>\n4. This gift of his son was to men that rebelled against God. (What would you have done)? John 1:1-<br \/>\n5.
