What is love? Most commonly this question would be answered by the typical "God is love" taken from 1John 4:8 (Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love). But the scripture is even more clear than this.
1 John 3:16- This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers
1 John 4:10- This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
John 3:16-For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 15:13- Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends
Romans 5:8-But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for
And just for the fun of it, check this out- I decided to look up the definition of the word "Love" in the Merriam- Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, tenth edition. You have to see how great a couple of the definitions are.
4a: unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another: as (1): the fatherly concern of God for humankind (2): brotherly concern for others b: a person's adoration for God
I don't know about you guys, but I want to fall in love even more. I've been giving it a lot of thought lately- I need Jesus. More than water to quench a thirst, more than breath in my body, more than a heartbeat- I NEED JESUS, THE SAVIOR.
