Love is frequently mentioned in the Bible. Depending on the translation, you can find love mentioned between 200 and 600 times. That tells me that God wants us to know all about love. I am not talking about the feeling people get when they think they love someone; I am talking about the God kind of love. The love I am talking about is a verb and requires action. It’s something God commands us to do. Let us love one another (1 John 4:7-8) because God is love.
On this day when we make an extra effort to let others know we love them, remember God is Love and He loved us first (1 John 4:19). How much does God love us? Enough to send His son, Jesus, to die on a cross so that we might live (John 3:16, Romans 5:8). He loved us enough to want the very best for us. He loved us enough that He made sure there was a way for us to spend eternity with Him (1 John 5:13). That, my friend, is the greatest LOVE of all. Happy Valentine’s Day.
