The Meaning Of True Love.

Contributed by Trevor Chuma on Feb 23, 2019

Human beings define love as an affection (feeling) towards another, but that’s a wrong definition

The best place to find the right definition of love is from love himself. 1 John 4:8 says, God is love and love (God) defined himself as a commandment.

God's Love Is The Key

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 9, 2019

What makes Christianity completely different and unique from all the other religions in the world is ‘love’ because it is the only religion where Jesus Christ, who is love Himself, comes to dwell within each willing heart when invited to.

The love a person feels for another is just a minute shadow of God’s love for EVERYONE! Jesus Christ is the very definition of love itself and the empirical ...read more
