Happy Valentines Day!! - All about LOVE



1 Corinthians 13:4-8a "LOVE is patient, LOVE is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. LOVE does not delight in evil but rejoices with truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. LOVE never fails."

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. Whoever does not LOVE does not know God, becuase God is LOVE. This is how God showed LOVE among us: He sent his one and only Son into the worls that we might live through him. This is LOVE: not that we LOVED God, but that he LOVED us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we ought to LOVE one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we LOVE one another, God lives in us and his LOVE is made complete in us."

1 John 4:18-19 "There is no fear is LOVE. But perfect LOVE drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in LOVE. We LOVE because he first LOVED us."

Ephesians 5:25 "Husbands, LOVE your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her."

1 Corinthians 16:14 "Do everything in LOVE."

Hebrews 13:1 "Keep on LOVING one another as brothers and sisters."

1 Peter 4:8 "Above all, LOVE each other deeply, because LOVE covers up all sin."

John 13:34 "A new command I give you: LOVE one another. As I have LOVED you, so you must LOVE one another."

John 14:15 "If you LOVE me, keep my commands."

John 15:12-13 "My command is this: LOVE each other as I have LOVED you. Greater LOVE has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friend."

Proverbs 10:12 "Hatred stirs up conflict, but LOVE covers all wrongs."

Did you know, the word LOVE appears over 300 times in the bible? Wow, God must be very passionate about LOVE. In fact, he is. He says in 1 Corinthians 13:13 "And now these three remain: Faith, Hope, and LOVE, but the greatest of these is LOVE." Actually, the phrase "LOVE one another" is used approximately 11 times in the New Testament alone!! God tells us in the bible, that you can't be like Jesus unless you LOVE, and when you LOVE, the people around you will know you follow Jesus! LOVE is also what forgives sins! Its amazing what LOVE can do! Just LOVE each other- Husbands- love your wives, Wives- love you husband and children, and everybody- love the people around you like they are brothers and sisters! Its all about LOVE!!
