Love is the foremost trait in all of Scripture. Because of Love, God sent His Son Jesus Christ to redeem us from the penalty of our sin through His sacrifice and victory at the cross. Jesus Christ identified the most important commandments in all of Scripture to be: Love God, Love your neighbor. Just before His crucifixion, Jesus said: "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." Without God, this is simply impossible because "God is Love."
As C.S. Lewis wrote, "In God, there is no hunger that needs to be filled, only plenteousness that desires to give."
Love
Joshua 22:5
- "But be very careful to
keep the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the Lord gave
you: 'to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to obey his
commands, to hold fast to him and to serve him with all your heart and
all your soul."
- Joshua 23:11
- "So be very careful to
love the Lord your God"
