This is probably one of the first things you think of when you think of God, am I right? And probably the first thing that you think of when you hear “now where can I find love in the Bible?”, you would probably think of 1 Corinthians 13, right? Well there are many forms of love: philia (brotherly love), eros (romantic love), and agape (unconditional, self-sacrificing love) just to name a couple. Well, as a lady I know I always need to feel loved from something, whether it was from my parents, dog, or boyfriend. But there is no love that can be described as the love that comes from God. His agape love for us was the reason why He was able to send His son for us. While God loves us, we are also commanded to love others the same way.
1 John 4:7-10
“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.”
