What is love? It's Valentine's Day and couples everywhere are probably saying "I love you" to their special someones right at this moment. I wonder what they mean by "love". We hear that love is blind, love is like a rosary full of mysteries, love takes time to heal if you hurt so much...
What is love for you? Have you ever said I love you to someone? Are you confused about the meaning of love? How do you know if your love is real? Bible verses contain much wisdom about love. Read these and you'll see that much of what we want out of love and a great love is written in the Bible.
My Lover is mine and I am his. - Song of Solomon 2:16
So Jacob worked seven years to pay for Rachel. But his love for her was so strong that it seemed to him but a few days. - Genesis 29:20
Who is this coming up from the desert leaning on her lover? Under the apple tree I roused you; there your mother conceived you, there she who was in labor gave you birth. Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned. - Song of Solomon 8:5-7
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. -1 John 4:16
We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. - 1 John 4:19-20
For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her. -Ephesians 5:25
however, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. - Ephesians 5:33
Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God - 1 John 4:7
After breakfast Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” Peter replied, “you know I love you.” “Then feed my lambs,” Jesus told him. - John 21:15
But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. - Romans 5:8
The second is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." - Mark 12:31
Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; - Romans 12:9
Above all hold unfailing your love for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins.- 1 Peter 4:8
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! 1 Corinthians 13:1-8
Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love. - 1 Corinthians 13:13
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and he who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because he first loved us. - 1 John 4:18-19
But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 1 John 4:8
Aren't these love bible verses beautiful? I pray that everyone finds the Greatest Love of All Today (and no, it's not learning to love yourself). Happy love day to everyone! :)
