Why is it important that Jesus loves us more than life?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus's love for us motivates His sacrificial death, assuring our redemption and eternal life.

The importance of Christ's love is vividly illustrated in John 12:25, where Jesus states, 'He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.' This indicates that Christ's love for His people transcends His own preservation. It illustrates the depth of His commitment, as He willingly chose to face death for our sake. His love is also the foundation of the believer's assurance of salvation, as shown in Romans 5:8, which says, 'But God commendeth His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.' Therefore, understanding Christ's love reaffirms the believer's identity in Him and provides comfort and hope for eternal life.
