1 Corinthians 13:4-7

“Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud, doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

Love is at the very heart of the Christian faith, because God himself is love. The most famous description of love in Scripture, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, tells us that love is patient and kind, does not envy or boast, keeps no record of wrongs, and always protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres. This is not sentimental feeling but a way of living toward others.

God's love is shown most clearly at the cross. John 3:16 declares that God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, and Romans 5:8 adds that "God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Because he first loved us, we are able to love in return, "We love because he first loved us" (1 John 4:19). His love is the source and pattern for ours.
