God is Love. 1 John 4:16
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. 1 John 3:16
"For love awakens love in return, and love, once awakened, desires to give pleasure."- J.I. Packer
Love is the strongest obligation in all of life. When you are loved there are things you cannot do-for we would not bear to break the heart of those who love us.
