This is how "The Message" translates verses 1-2
"Watch what God does, and then do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn't love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that."

I wonder what would happen in the world if every Christian really loved "like that"! What a wonderful aim in life to know exactly how God loves us (through Scripture, prayer, listening) and then exhibit that kind of love to everyone! What a change in governments, churches, homes!!
