28 Beautiful Bible Verses About Love

Love is the most powerful force in the world. It is the link that connects people to each other and to God. True love does not depend on the person who receives the love. The person who chooses to love does so because they want to love. Love is a powerful decision.

There is no love like God's love, because only that love, through Jesus, can transform our lives and complete us. God is love. His love serves as an example. We must love others unconditionally, as God loves us.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
