“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” – John 13:34-35, NIV
God has loved us so deeply and completely that Christ died for us, so we too can overflow with the gift of love toward God and others around us. There are many ways to show love to others in our words and actions.
Mark 12:30-31 says, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
Love is so important to God that it is a consistent theme found throughout scripture. He wants us to love others deeply as we love ourselves. We can give others the gift of love and share God’s love, our ultimate joy.
