Love. What is love? Is love a feeling? Is it an emotion? Is it an act? Is it a choice? 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 describes all the things love is and is not. It is God's 'template' for what love should look like. All throughout the bible love is explained and all throughout the bible it is told to us how important love is. God is love, we are to love, love heals, love covers all wrongs.....the greatestof these is LOVE. It is not just a feeling, it is not just an emotion, it is not just an act....and it should not be a choice. It is what we are called to do. It is the single most important thing we can do to look like and act like Jesus. Love is Christ and Christ is love. If that doesn't define it enough then no words in our English language are going to do it justice. Love fixes, love mends and love forgives. Love IS!
1 Corinthians 16:14, John 13:34-35, 1 John 4:8, Colossians 3:14, 1 Peter 4:8, Proverbs 10:12, Ephesians 4:2, 1 Corinthians 13:13....and our greatest example John 3:16.
