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
Leviticus 19:18
- "Do not seek revenge or
bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as
yourself. I am the Lord."
- Leviticus 19:34
- "The alien living with
you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love him as yourself, for you were
aliens in Egypt. I am the Lord
your God."
