Let all you do be done in love (I Corinthians 16:14)



Love holds the position of God’s greatest command 
(Love Him with all your heart - Matthew 22:37) 

Love holds the position of God’s second greatest command 
(Love your neighbor like you love yourself - Matthew 22:39) 

Love holds the position for God’s most difficult command 
(Love your enemy - Luke 6:27-35)  

Love is the most important quality a believer in Christ can possess, for without it, you cannot be a follower of God (I John 3:16-18).  Out of Divine love flow all other virtues of Godliness and Christlikeness. 

God has filled you with His love. You are so indebted to God because of His love to you that He simply wishes you to pay any and everyone you meet a payment of His love in you (Romans 13:8).  God’s love is no small aspect of Christian living.  You should be giving away the love of God in you to everyone you meet! 

God wants the world to see that you belong to Him.  Christians have lost their mysteriousness” in the eyes of the world, because they do not put a strong value upon God’s love.  Divinely-infused love in the life of a believer restores that mysteriousness. Love is God’s power unleashed in the lives of His children. it is the greatest virtue a Believer can possess!

“A Christian should at all times keep a strong guard against everything that tends to overthrow, or corrupt, or undermine a spirit of love. That which hinders love to men will hinder the exercise of love to God. If love is the sum of Christianity, surely those things which overthrow love are exceedingly unbecoming Christians. An envious Christian, a malicious Christian, a cold, hardhearted Christian is a great absurdity and contradiction. It is as if one should speak of dark brightness, or a false truth!” Jonathan Edwards
