Short single-speaker Christian sermon titled “Love is not feeling” (YouTube). The speaker (Derek Cole) argues that love is a verb demonstrated by Christ’s sacrificial death: while we were sinners Christ died for us; John’s remark ('behold what manner of love') is cited; the speaker describes Roman crucifixion brutality and presents the cross as the sole path to salvation.

Love is not feeling. You say, I feel I love him. It's not feeling. Love is doing. Love is a verb. God did something. God gave his love. God commended his love toward us. In that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. The apostle John, looking at that cross, said, behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us. And when you look at that cross and think about it, that the Romans used the instrument of execution on a colossal scale. And they put nails in the hands and spikes in the feet and spat on the people and mutilated the bodies, broke their legs to help them die quicker, and all sorts of terrible things. The most cruel death in the whole world is the death of the cross. Our Lord was hanging there with the mocking crowd, making fun of him. And he hung there for you, you, you. And God was saying, I love you. Jesus laid down his life for us. And that's the reason the scripture says there's no other way to heaven. You can't be saved any other way. You cannot find life with a capital L any other way.
