Christian Love

It constrains us

2 Corinthians 5:14

For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.

It is the binding force of Christian fellowship

Philippians 2:2

Then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.

Colossians 2:2

My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ,

It is the fulfilling of the law

Romans 13:10

Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

It is bond of perfectness

Colossians 3:14

And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

It is the fruit of the Spirit

Galatians 5:22

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

It is the demonstration of our discipleship

John 13:34-35

34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

It is greater than all things

1 Corinthians 13:13

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