“How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should<br />

be called children of God!” 1 John 3:1<br />

“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for<br />

us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone<br />

has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity<br />

on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not<br />

love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.”1 John 3:16-18<br />

“This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and<br />

only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love:<br />

not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an<br />

atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we<br />

also ought to love one another. ” 1 John 4:9-11<br />

“His banner over me is love.” Song of Songs 2:4<br />

“The commandments…are summed up in the one command, ‘<strong>Love</strong><br />

your neighbor as you love yourself.’ If you love others, you will never<br />

do them wrong, to love, then, is to obey the whole Law.” Romans<br />

13:9-10<br />

“Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love<br />

is as strong as death…Many waters cannot quench love; rivers<br />

cannot wash it away.” Song of Songs 8:6-7<br />

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ<br />

lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live <strong>by</strong> faith in the Son of God,<br />

who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20<br />

“I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you established<br />

your faithfulness in heaven itself.” Psalm 89:2<br />

“The earth is filled with your love, O Lord…” Psalm 119:64<br />
