1 John 4:8
God is LOVE
8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
1 Corinthians 13:8-13
Love is the Greatest Virtue
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
If God is LOVE, then we might believe that LOVE is Divine...We might believe that we do need LOVE in all our relationships...And that LOVE can bring our world into harmony...And since God is LOVE, we might believe that LOVE is eternal...We might also believe, as St. Paul said, that LOVE will never fail...We might also believe that LOVE is the Way to live our lives...And therefore, we can believe that LOVE is the greatest virtue in life...
