The Bible is a book of love. It is the
story of God's love for all of humanity.
It is a guide for how we are to love one
another. It even contains a few love
stories.
So it should be no surprise to discover that the
word love appears almost 700 times in the Bible.
The Psalms contain around 150 references to
love, especially loving God and God's unfailing
love.
Proverbs offers good advice about giving and
receiving love. And Song of Solomon is a
long love poem.
In the New Testament it is no surprise at all
that Jesus speaks frequently about love.
John - both in his gospel and his other letters
- talks about love a great deal. And Paul
offers marital advice on loving husbands and
wives.
So there is no lack of information in the Bible
about love. These few love devotions hit
some of the broader themes of love in the Bible,
often regarding God's love and loving God.
Because of the depth of the topic, we have an
entirely separate site to discuss love within
relationships at
True
Love Challenge. |
