Bible Verses on Love

It is our sincere desire that as you read these inspirational bible verses, you would be uplifted and your love for our Lord Jesus Christ would be deepened. Christ's Love Sets The Standard Read Ephesians 5:1-2 Think back for a moment to when you were a child. What if your parents had never demonstrated how to use a fork and spoon. Then one day they placed you at a table with these utensils and said, "Eat!" You would have no ideal how to use them to get food into your mouth. Consequently you would have made a mess. Fortunately when it comes to loving others, God has given us the great example: Jesus Christ. He Knew that the best way to teach us how to love was to show us how its done, and throughout the Gospels, we can see Jesus" love in action. Of course the greatest display of Christ's love for us was when he took the punishment we deserved by dying on the cross. Because of that tremendous sacrifice, we are obligated to love others. Scripture says, "Pay all your depts, except the dept of love for others. You can never finish paying that!" (Read Romans 13:8). Because we will never match the depth of love God has for us, we will never be able to fully repay the dept of love we owe him. That is why we have to keep giving out that same kind of love to others. Perhaps you have grown up in a home where love was seldom expressed, or have had a distorted veiw of love, and you feel that you are incapable of truly loving others. Take heart, for as this passage says, you can look to Jesus as your example. When Christ becomes the standard of your love, you will understand what the apostle Paul meant when he said that Christ's love controls us (Read 2 Corinthians 5:14). Go Back to Bible Verses On Love
