17 Memorable Quotes To Remind Us Of The True Meaning Of Love

The month of February has long been celebrated as the month of love and romance. Today, in honor of the greatest love we will ever know and experience, I have opted to share a few quotes and bible verses to remind us of the true meaning of love and how special the bond is.

1.”This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our live for our brothers and sisters. If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” ~ 1 John 3:16-18 NIV

2.  Jesus says, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” ~ John 13:34-35 NIV

When I look at all that is happening in the world today, are we truly obeying this command that Jesus has given to us?
