Love can be described as an intense feeling of deep affection, or a great interest and pleasure in something.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs (once we are born again of the Spirit of God, all our past sins are wiped away). 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth (the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth). 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails.
Mark 12:30-31
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[f] 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself. Matthew 5:44; love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
1 John 4:7-12
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 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. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. Hebrews 11:1; Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Romans 12:3; says the measure of faith God has distributed to each of us.
1 Corinthians 13:13; And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Psalm 62:11-12; One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard: “Power belongs to you, God, and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”.
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.
Romans 8:38-39
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[k] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
