An excerpt from “Compelling Truth.org” entitled, “The Love Of Christ – What Is It? States: “The phrase ‘love of Christ’ used in the New Testament refers to His love for humanity. Jesus shows His love toward us in many ways, ultimately proving it through His death and resurrection from the dead.” The article may be viewed at: The love of Christ – What is it? (compellingtruth.org) [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Ephesians 3:18]
Application: “The phrase “love of Christ,” as opposed to “love for Christ,” refers to the love that He has toward mankind. His love can be briefly stated as His willingness to act in our best interest, especially in meeting our greatest need, even though it cost Him everything and even though we were the least worthy of such love.” [Source: What is the love of Christ? | GotQuestions.org ]
