Love

What's Love got to do with it?

 

 1. If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I ganin nothing 1Cor 13: 1-3

How do you get real Love?

       Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 so we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us.  God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.  17 By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the Day of Judgement, because as he is so also are we in this world.  18 there is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fewar.  For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.  19 We love because he first loved us.  20 If anyone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has been cannot love God whom he has not seen. 1John 4:16-20
