1 Corinthians 13:13 // And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

1 John 4:7-11 // Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

“This is the lesson of Beauty and the Beast; that a thing must be loved before it is loveable.” - G.K. Chesterton

John 13:23 // The disciple whom Jesus loved…

  • Agape - to will the good for another person
  • Bestowed Worth

1 John 4:10  // This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

  • To love is to give.
  • You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.
  • To love is to serve.

Matthew 20:26 // …whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.

  • To love is to care.

Luke 19:10 // For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

John 15:13 // Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
