What is Love?

1 COR. 13:1-13

4 Love is patient; love is kind. Love does not envy; is not boastful; is not conceited;
5 does not act improperly; is not selfish; is not provoked; does not keep a record of wrongs;
6 finds no joy in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth;
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never ends....

Christian love (agape) is to be the guiding principle for all we do. Jesus said that love for God and love for our neighbors were the most important commands of scripture (Matt. 22:37-40). When you read the above passage, you might want to mentally insert the definition "concern for others that leads to sacrificial action".

No matter our religious affiliations, we should always strive to live by these virtues. If for no other purpose than to be an example for those who have not yet developed the moral capability.

Thanks for the post.

God IS love, and He would like us to be "love" as well. God is contantly raining love upon us. Some people have their umbrellas up. :)
