Romans 13:10
Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

God gave His people ten commandments, but Jesus summed them up in only two. The first and foremost is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, and the second is to love your neighbor as yourself. When you treat others with love, commandments about lying, stealing, jealousy and strife all fall into place. The entire law is fulfilled when you love God and His children… each and every one of them.

1 John 4:19
We love because he first loved us.

Love itself comes from God; it’s a part of His nature as a good and perfect God to love His children with infinite passion. He was the first being ever to love, and He demonstrated the depths of His love by sacrificing His one and only Son to save us from the crimes we committed against Him. The reason God’s people show love to others isn’t because it’s natural, but because of the supernatural love that we’ve seen. Before you even knew God, He loved you first.

1 John 4:7
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.

No one taught you to throw tantrums, steal toys, or headbutt your playmates when you were three years old. Being selfish is natural, and this is clear from an early age. That’s why love, especially the love that comes from a relationship with Christ, is so powerful. It defies human nature because love comes from God. If you’ve accepted Jesus, you understand that His sacrifice was the greatest act of love; so by all means show some of that love to one another.

1 Corinthians 13:4
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant.

Love exhibits patience and kindness, whether or not it has been earned. It isn’t envious, and it doesn’t boast. Nor it is arrogant because love isn’t self-centered. Love isn’t about what you can get, but rather, what you can give to someone else. It’s about making the person you love your first priority, even when it doesn’t benefit you. Our culture twists the definition of love into an emotion that can come and go, but the bible makes the truth clear: love is a choice.

2 Peter 3:13
But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

God made the world and said it was good, but the perfect world He had made didn’t last long thanks to us. Fortunately, this world won’t be your permanent home. Christ is preparing something so much better for us in Heaven, and because you couldn’t get there on your own, He’s paid for your ticket. As impressive as earth is, it’s going to be nothing compared to the wonders awaiting you in eternity. You have infinite joy and peace to look forward to, but for the time being, do all you can to follow God’s will and win souls for the Kingdom of God during the time you have here!

Isaiah 40:26
Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name; by the greatness of his might and because he is strong in power, not one is missing.

Creation is incredible, and God made all of it. He measured the universe with His hand, and He knows the stars by name. The innumerable galaxies scattered across the night sky are evidence of God’s majesty and design. The beauty of creation shows the character of God, in the same way that a painting shows the character of an artist. Next time you find yourself outside with a good view of the night sky, take a moment to pause, lift your eyes on high, and ask yourself “Who created these?”
