Love



1 John 4:16 says that "God is love."
If God is Love then we can say this about 1 Corinthians 13:4-7...
"[God] is patient, [God] is kind. [He] does not envy, [He] does not boast, [He] is not proud. [He] does not dishonor others, [He] is not self-seeking, [He] is not easily angered, [He] keeps no record of wrongs. [God] does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. [He] always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
1 Peter 4:8 says "[God] covers a multitude of sins."
1 Corinthians 13:13 says "Faith, hope and love remain. But the greatest of these is love." I think it's no coincidence that the greatest is love. If "God is love" then love ought to be the greatest. Love is a word so commonly used but there is so much power in love. Love comes from God. And we know this because God showed His love by sending His ONLY son to die for us. That's crazy love. God is love and those who claim to know God must walk in this love! Love God and love others! This is what we are called to do as His people.
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. And love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these." -Mark 12:30-31
