Read this collection of Bible verses about love as inspiration to "put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony." (Colossians 3:14). Jesus Christ continually preached and taught His Apostles the importance of love, a new command given in the Gospel. Christ said, "A new command I give you: Love one another, as I have loved you" (John 13:34).
The Bible instructs us that we must have a love for God to keep His commandments joyfully. The purpose of our creation is to live in communion with God by loving God and one another.
The greatest commandment, as Christ stated in Matthew 22:37-40, is "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Therefore, let us love God and our neighbor with the fullness of our lives, not just in word but in deed and truth! May these scripture quotes about love inspire you to live in devotion to God with thanksgiving.
