Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.Īfter comparing the world’s view of love with the Bible’s, we get a few things: Love does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth. Love suffers long and is kind love does not envy love does not parade itself, is not puffed up does not behave rudely. God defines what love is in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 saying: Romance, sexual passion, sexual intercourse.
A feeling of intense desire and attraction toward a person with whom one is disposed to make a pair. An intense emotional attachment or feeling for a person, place, or thing. Love definedĪ deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward another person. Loving God rids a person of self-love issues. If a person doesn’t love themselves, it’s because they don’t love God.
To love yourself first is contrary to the word of God, self-centered, and not an attribute of love as we see in 1 Corinthians 13:5. If you love God first, you’ll be filled with his love in return so you won’t have a problem loving your neighbor as it goes on to command (John 14:23 Ephesians 3:14-21). In Mark 12:30-31, Jesus said to love God first. The truth is: most people love themselves already. I hear this often, but when you look at Scripture it’s not there. You have to first love yourself before you can love others. Loving like Jesus is possible because Jesus commanded us to do so. These comments usually come from people who don’t want to obey God, listen to the lies of the devil, or have failed to love because they tried in their own strength. The Bible says, “We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us” (Philippians 4:13), for God called us to be conformed to the image of Christ (Romans 8:29) and to love one another like he loved us (John 15:12). His love is just something to aspire to, not something you can actually reach. Check this out Christian misconceptions about godly love
