The Bible preaches love—the love of God through Jesus Christ, His Son. He also blesses us with other kinds of love and they are all important, but His is all- important. This is the cornerstone of the religion we Christians are supposed to practice: love for God and love for others. Love is what Jesus Himself taught— the Good News that God is love (1 John 4:8). True love, real love, unselfish love, sacrificial love, God’s love, is all the religion we need. “Love the Lord your God, and love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets” (Matthew 22:37-40). That’s all the laws of the whole Bible put together--love! If you have love, you have everything. If you do everything out of genuine love for God and others, you are fulfilling all the laws of God. Herein is our salvation and message: love, true love, the love of God and fellow man, for it is God’s divine love working in us that helps us fulfill His great commandment to love one another. Thank God for such sweet love in the Lord! Isn’t it wonderful to have love? When you have God you have love, because God is love (1 John 4:8). — 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 ESV - Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Corinthians 13:13 ESV - So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. John 13:34 ESV - A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. — Jesus, help us to love our neighbor as ourselves, and use our sample of love to turn people to you.
