But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness. Philemon 1:7
Love the emotion of the heart. Love is mentioned in the NkJ Version of the bible 361 times and in the ESV 551 times. There are 4 kinds of love described in the bible; romantic love, love between family members, a deep emotional bond that connects two people and the love that God has for us.
I believe we all strive to live in love. If the world looked at how to love each other instead of finding ways to break each other down on to condemn people what a better place it would be. Our motto should be love like Jesus.
The one verse that says it all, “God is love.” 1 John 4:8 tells us if we love we are being with God. Let us all strive to love more.
1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 gives us the biblical definition of love. “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong doing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hope all things, endures all things. Love never ends.”
