If God is love and we would like to know God, we will have to ask and understand the answer to the following question: ?¢‚Ǩ?ìWhat is Love??¢‚Ǩ¬ù For the answers to that question let us go to God?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s Word and allow God to describe for Himself what love is.?Ǭ†?Ǭ† Consider the following verses: 4Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
These verses divide love into four easy to understand categories:
Category #1?¢‚Ǩ‚ÄùWhat love is.?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ †?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†? Ǭ†

?Ǭ†C.?Ǭ†Insist on its own way, vs.5
?Ǭ†D.?Ǭ†Rejoice at wrongdoing, vs.6
Category #4?¢‚Ǩ‚ÄùWhat love does do.
?Ǭ†A.?Ǭ†Rejoices with the truth, vs.6
?Ǭ†B.?Ǭ†Bears all things, vs.7
?Ǭ†C.?Ǭ†Believes all things, vs.7
?Ǭ†D.?Ǭ†Hopes all things, vs.7
?Ǭ†E.?Ǭ†Endures all things, vs.7
Next week we will take a closer look at Category #1. By learning more about what the make up of God is, we will gain a better understanding and knowledge of God. With a better understanding, we will be able to see if our own actions, words and thoughts reflect what God is: love. The verse at the top of the page warns us that if we do not show that love, it is because we do not know God.?Ǭ†
