"What is Love?"

Scripture: Mark 12:30-31

1 John 4:8

8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Romans 5:8

8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Song of Solomon 8:6-7

6 Place me like a seal over your heart,

like a seal on your arm;

for love is as strong as death,

its jealousy unyielding as the grave.

It burns like blazing fire,

like a mighty flame.

7 Many waters cannot quench love;

rivers cannot sweep it away.

If one were to give

all the wealth of one''s house for love,

it would be utterly scorned.

Proverbs 17:17

17 A friend loves at all times,

and a brother is born for a time of adversity.

John 15:13

13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one''s life for one''s friends.

Romans 12:10

10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.

Mark 12:31

31 The second is this: ''Love your neighbor as yourself.'' There is no commandment greater than these."

1 John 2:15-17

15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

Ephesians 2:1-3

1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.

John 3:16-17

God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
