What Does It Mean to Love Like Jesus?

Love, as Jesus showed us, is more than a feeling - it’s a way of life. It’s selfless, patient, forgiving, and deeply personal. But in a world filled with noise, pressure, and distraction, how do we truly love like He did? What does Christlike love look like today?

One powerful way to reconnect with the Savior’s example is through artwork that is centered on Him - a visual reminder of His life, His compassion, and His invitation to “love one another as I have loved you” (John 15:12).

The Love of Christ Was Always Action-Oriented

Jesus didn’t just talk about love - He lived it. He wept with the grieving. He touched the untouchable. He forgave those who betrayed Him. To love like Jesus means putting others first, even when it's uncomfortable or inconvenient.

This kind of love shows up in our homes, our families, and even in the quiet ways we serve strangers. It's kind, patient, and full of grace. Christian art, especially images of the Savior serving others, washing feet, or embracing the lost, can inspire us to embody that same love in our own daily walk.

Christian Art as a Daily Reminder of Christlike Love

There’s a reason homes with faith-centered décor feel different. A canvas print of Jesus extending His hand, carrying a lost sheep, or calming the storm can speak volumes without a single word. These sacred images remind us to lead with gentleness, listen with compassion, and give with a full heart.

Havenlight’s collection of Christian art offers a visual way to bring Christ’s teachings into everyday life. Place a print in your entryway, family room, or even beside your workspace - somewhere that grounds you in the Savior’s love and reminds you to extend that love to others.

What Loving Like Jesus Might Look Like Today

  • Forgiving someone who hasn’t asked for it

  • Showing kindness when you feel wronged

  • Listening when it’s easier to speak

  • Serving quietly without expecting praise

  • Offering grace - to others and yourself

Loving like Jesus isn’t always grand or visible. Often, it’s quiet, consistent, and deeply rooted in the heart. When we surround ourselves with reminders - like scripture, prayer, or meaningful Christian art - we’re more likely to reflect His light in everything we do.
