You shall love the Lord Your God with all your heart,
with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,
and your neighbor as yourself.
(Luke 10:27)
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world through Him might be saved.
(John 3:16 & 17)
Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drown it.
If a man would give for love all the wealth of his house,
it would be utterly despised.
(Song of Solomon 8:7)
Greater love has no one than this,
than to lay down one's life for his friends.
(John 15:13)
But God demonstrates His own love toward us,
in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
(Romans 5:8)
Behold what manner of love the Father has
bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!
Therefore the world does not know us,
because it did not know Him.
(1 John 3:1)
And we have known and believed the love
that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides
in love abides in God, and God in him.
(1 John 4:16)
