Good day all,
The Word of God has so much to say about the virtue of love from Genesis to Revelation! A few profound examples are:
Prov 10:12 AKJV Hatred stirs up strifes: but love covers all sins.
1 Cor 13:13 AKJV And now stays faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Rev 2:2-4 AKJV
2 I know your works, and your labor, and your patience, and how you can not bear them which are evil: and you have tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them liars:
3 And have borne, and have patience, and for my name’s sake have labored, and have not fainted.
4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against you, because you have left your first love.
One of the most powerful scriptures on love is found in John 3:16.
The scripture says in John 3:16, that “God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. “
This is a powerful scripture that is packed with revelation.
Listen, God so loved the WORLD.. Remember the world was and is filled with sin, transgression and inquiry! But God showed his love by giving us his Son as a sacrifice to bring us salvation!
This is how important the virtue of love is. As people of God, never forget that love is an important part of your walk in Christ, and covers a multitude of sins.
When you do a word search in scripture, specifically the
(KJV) version, we find faith 231 times, hope 121 times, and love 281 times. Wow!
Without the virtue of love, your gifts won’t flow. Without the virtue of love you are only making noise according to 1 Cor 13:1-8.
Let us never forget that God loves us unconditionally and desires for us to walk in his love, show love, and to be an example of his love in the earth to represent the Kingdom of God.
If we lack the unconditional love of Christ, we will also lack the power and the anointing that comes from Christ!
Last but not least, let us remember the greatest commandment is to love God and to love our neighbor as we love ourselves! For the law and the Prophets is fulfilled in this scripture! Matt 22:36-40.
God bless,
Pastor Quinn
