BIBLE VERSES ABOUT LOVE: 17 QUOTES ABOUT LOVE
The Bible speaks of several different kinds of love. There is God’s love for His children, parental love, brotherly love and married love. It even tells us that we are to love ourselves. The defining characteristic of the Christian is his love for others. Love for Jesus is followed by our responsibility to love and support others of God’s children.
If there is any theme throughout the entire collection of Bible verses, it is that of love. There is the familiar creed of believers found in John 3:16, and an entire chapter devoted to the topic in Paul’s letter to the Corinthians. You could describe God’s Word as an entire love letter to the human race. There are hundreds of verses that use the word “love” in various ways.
There are passages about brotherly love or friendship, divine love characterized by the Greek word “agape” and romantic love or “eros”. Jesus reminded his disciples during his last discussion with them that they would be recognized by their love for each other. He spent a significant portion of this pre-crucifixion evening telling his followers how much love He and the Father have for them.The extraction of a single verse or group of verses and forming it into a motto is one way to feel better, but a deeper approach is important in order to grasp the vast depths of God’s love for us. He want us to reflect His love and to be a channel to demonstrate that love to others.
