The Greatest Love

Free John 15:13 SOAP Bible Study

Jesus describes the greatest love in John 15:13 as love willing to lay down its life for another. His words point us toward the cost of His own love and invite us to consider two questions:

Do I really believe Jesus loves me this deeply? How should that love begin shaping the way I love others?

This free printable SOAP Bible study will help you slow down, study John 15:13 carefully, receive the sacrificial love of Jesus more personally, and identify one practical way to reflect that love toward someone else.

When the Love of Jesus Feels Hard to Receive

Sometimes we know Jesus loves us but still struggle to believe that His love applies personally to us. Past failure, shame, disappointment, or difficulty receiving love can make us feel as though we need to become more worthy first.

John 15:13 points us back to the cost Jesus was willing to bear.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

This study will help you identify the belief that makes His love difficult to receive and bring that belief back under the words of Scripture.
