What Do You Understand About Love?
The Lord Jesus hammer on the important of Love when He summarized the 10 commandments into 2 part which to love God and love neighbour.
In trying to prove that we love God mankind have been trying to do so but so many of us are doing it the wrong way.
To understand how to love the right way we need to know what love is or it attribute and the book of 1 Corinthian 13 verse 4 to 5 revealed to us what the attribute of love are.
Love is patient, love is kind, it isn’t jealous, it doesn’t brag, it isn’t arrogant, it isn’t rude, it doesn’t seek its own advantage, it isn’t irritable, it doesn’t keep a record of complaints,
1 Corinthians 13:4-5 CEB

To understand more read the whole chapter 13.
One of the truest and beautiful quotes ever! We can turn back on God but He will never stop loving us.
God Bless!
True word. God never stop loving and just like the prodigal son God is ever ready and willing to welcome us back unto Him.
You should quote the entire passage.
(1 Corinthians 13:1-8 NIV) If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. {2} If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. {3} If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. {4} Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. {5} It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. {6} Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. {7} It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. {8} Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
That passage is often quoted at weddings but it isn't directed only at husbands and wives. It's how a Christian should treat everyone.
Yeah, that's why i put at the bottom that we should read the whole chapter. The whole chapter talk about love, how we should love, the importance of letting love lead our actions instead gains.
This chapter is not meant for husband and wife alone but to us all who profess to follow Jesus.
