GOD’S
WORD ON LOVE
Today,
let’s allow THE WORD to speak – clearly and concisely – to us:
Matthew 22:34-40 (NKJV)
34 But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees,
they gathered together.
35 Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying,
36 “Teacher, which is the
great commandment in the law?”
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,
with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
38 This is the first
and great commandment.
39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your
neighbor as yourself.’
40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
John 13:34-35 (NKJV)
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I
have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love
for one another.”
I Corinthians 13 (NKJV)
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not
love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and
understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so
that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and
though I give my body to be burned,[a] but
have not love, it profits me nothing.
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy;
love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked,
thinks no evil;
6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures
all things.
8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies,
they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there
is knowledge, it will vanish away.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part
will be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I
thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I
know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of
these is love.
Amen? AMEN!!!
