1 John 3:16 (NKJV)...


Footnote from NIV Application Bible:

John uses the example of Jesus here in v.16 for two reasons.  First, Christ is a model for us to emulate.  Christ as God's Son possessed more than we can ever imagine; yet he did not keep what he had selfishly but gave of himself voluntarily for others.  Second, Jesus' death is also a revelation of God's work on our behalf:  "Christ laid down His life for us" (v.16).  Jesus' death is not merely an ethical model; it is a genuine offering and giving of his life.
