Love’s
best kept secrets
    God’s promises for you
LOVE ALWAYS PUTS GOD FIRST
 He answered: “ ‘Love       Jesus replied, “If anyone
 the Lord your God with        loves me, he will obey
  all your heart and with     my teaching. My Father
 all your soul and with all     will love him, and we
  your strength and with        will come to him and
    all your mind’; and,        make our home with
  ‘Love your neighbor as                 him.”
         yourself.’ ”               John 14: 23
        Luke 10: 27
LOVE DOES NOT DELIGHT IN EVIL

 Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one
 another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be
compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil
     with evil or insult with insult, but with
  blessing, because to this you were called so
        that you may inherit a blessing.
                   1 Peter 3: 8-9
LOVE FOLLOWS GODLY EXAMPLE

 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved
   children and live a life of love, just as Christ
     loved us and gave himself up for us as a
      fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
                Ephesians 5: 1-2
LOVE REJOICES IN THE TRUTH
 It has given me great joy to find some of your
 children walking in the truth, just as the Father
  commanded us. And now, dear lady, I am not
  writing you a new command but one we have
 had from the beginning. I ask that we love one
     another. And this is love: that we walk in
 obedience to his commands. As you have heard
  from the beginning, his command is that you
                   walk in love.
                   2 John 4-6
LOVE IS PATIENT
 And we urge you, brothers, warn those who
  are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak,
  be patient with everyone. Make sure that no
 one pays back wrong for wrong, but always try
 to be kind to each other and to everyone else.
            1 Thessalonians 5: 14-15
LOVE IS SINCERE
   Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil;
           cling to what is good.
               Romans 12: 9

 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the
continuing debt to love one another, for he who
 loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. Love
does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore, love is
            the fulfillment of the law.
                Romans 13: 8, 10
LOVE IS HUMBLE AND SUBMISSIVE
 (Jesus speaking) “You call      Remind the people to be
   me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’           subject to rulers and
   and rightly so, for that is          authorities, to be
    what I am. Now that I,         obedient, to be ready to
    your Lord and Teacher,          do whatever is good, to
   have washed your feet,            slander no one, to be
  you also should also wash              peaceable and
  one another’s feet. I have       considerate, and to show
   set you an example that          true humility toward all
   you should do as I have                    men.
         done for you.”                  Titus 3: 1-2
       John 13: 13-15
LOVE IS NOT RUDE
 Rise in the presence of the aged, show respect
   for the elderly and revere your God. I am the
                         Lord.
                  Leviticus 19: 32

 “Honor your father and mother, and love your
             neighbor as yourself.”
               Matthew 19: 19
LOVE ALWAYS PERSEVERES
 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult
 and persecution; at other times you stood side by
      side with those who were so treated. You
   sympathized with those in prison and joyfully
     accepted the confiscation of your property,
 because you knew that you yourselves had better
  and lasting possessions. So do not throw away
  your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You
  need to persevere so that when you have done
    the will of God, you will receive what he has
                      promised.
                 Hebrews 10: 33-36
LOVE ALWAYS PERSEVERES

 Therefore I endure everything for the sake of
     the elect, that they too may obtain the
  salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal
                       glory.
                 2 Timothy 2: 10
LOVE DOES NOT BETRAY

 “Do not go about spreading slander among
    your people. Do not do anything that
endangers your neighbor’s life. I am the Lord.”
              Leviticus 19: 16
LOVE DOES NOT COVET NOR ABUSE
 “Do not defraud       You, my brothers,
your neighbor or rob      were called to be
  him. Do not hold      free. But do not use
back the wages of a        your freedom to
hired man overnight.      indulge the sinful
  Leviticus 19: 13      nature, rather, serve
                        one another in love.
                          Galatians 5: 13
LOVE DOES NOT BOAST
 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body,
  but it makes great boasts... With the tongue we
  praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse
 men, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out
  of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My
   brothers, this should not be... Who is wise and
 understanding among you? Let him show it by his
    good life, by deeds done in the humility that
                 comes from wisdom.
                James 3: 5, 9-10, 13
LOVE DOES NOT BOAST

 If anyone does not obey our instruction in this
       letter, take special note of him. Do not
   associate with him, in order that he may feel
   ashamed. Yet do not regard him as an enemy,
              but warn him as a brother.
              2 Thessalonians 3: 14-15
LOVE REBUKES WRONG

 “Do not hate your brother in your heart.
Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not
             share in his guilt.”
             Leviticus 19: 17
LOVE DISCIPLINES
 “Those whom I love I      ...”My son, do not make
  rebuke and discipline.          light of the Lord’s
    So be earnest, and         discipline, and do not
         repent.”                lose heart when he
    Revelation 3: 19           rebukes you, because
                                 the Lord disciplines
                              those he loves, and he
                               punishes everyone he
                                  accepts as a son.”
                                 Hebrews 12: 5-6
LOVE DOES NOT DIVIDE, IT UNITES

 I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our
   Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with
 one another so that there may be no divisions
    among you and that you may be perfectly
          united in mind and thought.
               1 Corinthians 1: 10
LOVE BINDS TOGETHER
 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
    Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or
famine or nakedness or danger or sword?... No, in
   all these things we are more than conquerors
  through him who loved us. For I am convinced
   that neither death nor life, neither angels nor
 demons, neither the present nor the future, nor
     any powers, neither height nor depth, nor
    anything else in all creation, will be able to
 separate us from the love of God that is in Christ
                   Jesus our Lord.
               Romans 8: 35, 37-39
LOVE IS IMPARTIAL

  “Do not use dishonest standards when
 measuring length, weight or quantity. Use
honest scales and honest weights, an honest
ephah and an honest hin. I am the Lord your
    God, who brought you out of Egypt.
            Leviticus 19: 35-36
LOVE IS CONSIDERATE
  “If you lend money to one of my people
  among you who is needy, do not be like a
 money lender; charge him no interest. If you
take your neighbor’s cloak as a pledge, return
 it to him by sunset, because his cloak is the
 only covering he has for his body. What else
 will he sleep in? When he cries out to me, I
       will hear, for I am compassionate.”
               Exodus 22: 25-27
LOVE IS CARING
 Religion that God or Father         As apostles of Christ we
      accepts as pure and              could have been a burden
  faultless is this: to look after    to you, but we were gentle
     orphans and widows in              among you, like a mother
    their distress and to keep        caring for her little children.
  oneself from being polluted         We loved you so much that
           by the world.              we were delighted to share
          James 1: 27                     with you not only the
                                       gospel of God but our lives
                                        as well, because you had
                                         become so dear to us.
                                        1 Thessalonians 2: 6-8
LOVE ENCOURAGES THE WEAK
 Praise be to the God and     Therefore encourage one
   Father of our Lord Jesus      another and build each
     Christ, the Father of       other up, just as in fact
  compassion and the God             you are doing.
      of all comfort, who        1 Thessalonians 5: 11
    comforts us in all our
  troubles, so that we can
     comfort those in any
  trouble with the comfort
       we ourselves have
      received from God.
    2 Corinthians 1: 3-4
LOVE PROVIDES TROUGH GOOD WORKS

    He who has been stealing must steal no
 longer, but must work, doing something useful
      with his own hands, that he may have
     something to share with those in need.
                Ephesians 4: 28
LOVE IS NOT SELF-SEEKING

 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain
conceit, but in humility consider others better
 that yourselves. Each of you should look not
   only to your own interest, but also to the
              interests of others.
              Philippians 2: 3-4
LOVE DOES NOT SEEK VENGEANCE

 “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against
  one of your people, but love your neighbor as
             yourself. I am the Lord.”
                Leviticus 19: 18
LOVE IS GENEROUS
 And now, brothers, we want you to know about
   the grace that God has given the Macedonian
    churches. Out of the most severe trial, their
 overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled
  up in rich generosity. For I testify that they gave
    as much as they were able, and even beyond
  their ability. Entirely on their own, they urgently
 pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this
                  service to the saints.
                  2 Corinthians 8: 1-4
LOVE IS GENEROUS
 Do not withhold good         If I give all I possess to
      from those who           the poor and surrender
  deserve it, when it is in     my body to the flames,

  neighbor, “Come back           1 Corinthians 13: 3
       later; I’ll give it
 tomorrow” – when you
   now have it with you.
    Proverbs 3: 27-28
LOVE IS JUST AND ALWAYS PROTECTS
 “Do not pervert justice;    You hear, O Lord, the
   do not show partiality      desire of the afflicted;
       to the poor or          you encourage them,
  favoritism to the great,     and you listen to their
  but judge your neighbor        cry, defending the
           fairly.”              fatherless and the
     Leviticus 19: 15         oppressed, in order that
                                 man, who is of the
                                earth, may terrify no
                                        more.
                                 Psalm 10: 17-18
LOVE ACTS

 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ
   laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay
  down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has
   material possessions and sees his brother in
  need but has no pity on him, how can the love
    of God be in him? Dear children, let us not
    love with words or tongue but with actions
                    and in truth.
                 1 John 3 :16-18
LOVE ACTS
 But let all who take         “My command is this:
refuge in you be glad; let     Love each other as I have
  them ever sing for joy.       loved you. Greater love
  Spread your protection       has no one than this, that
   over them, that those      he lay down his life for his
who love your name may                 friends.”
rejoice in you. For surely,        John 15: 12-13
   O Lord, you bless the
 righteous; you surround
 them with your favor as
       with a shield.
     Psalm 5: 11-12
LOVE IS FORGIVING AND MERCIFUL
 ...”If your brother sins,     Keep yourselves in God’s
    rebuke him, and if he         love as you wait for the
                                  mercy of our Lord Jesus

                                    save them; to others
      and says, ‘I repent,’       show mercy, mixed with
         forgive him.”             fear – hating even the
        Luke 17: 3-4                 clothing stained by
                                       corrupted flesh.
                                        Jude 21-23
LOVE IS LONGSUFFERING
 “But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies,
  do good to those who hate you, bless those who
    curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If
   someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him
   the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do
     not stop him from taking your tunic. Give to
 everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what
    belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to
     others as you would have them do to you.”
                    Luke 6: 27-31
LOVE KEEPS NO RECORD OF WRONGS
 Get rid of all bitterness,     Hatred stirs up
      rage and anger,           dissension, but love
   brawling and slander,       covers up all wrongs.
  along with every form          Proverbs 10: 12
  of malice. Be kind and
  compassionate to one
  another, forgiving each
   other, just as in Christ
     God forgave you.
   Ephesians 4: 31-32
LOVE RESTORES
 Brothers, if someone is     Therefore, as we have
  caught in a sin, you who     opportunity, let us do
     are spiritual should        good to all people,
   restore him gently. But    especially to those who

    also may be tempted.             believers.
       Galatians 6: 1             Galatians 6: 10
LOVE IS GRACIOUS
 ...”If your enemy is       In everything I did, I
 hungry, feed him; if he    showed you that by this
   is thirsty, give him        kind of hard work we
 something to drink. In        must help the weak,
doing this, you will heap   remembering the words
  burning coals in his        the Lord Jesus himself
    head.” Do not be         said: ‘It is more blessed
 overcome by evil, but       to give than to receive.’
   overcome evil with              Acts 20: 35
           good.
  Romans 12: 20-21
LOVE EDIFIES
 ...We know that we all possess knowledge. Knowledge
               puffs up, but love builds up.
                   1 Corinthians 8:1

 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to
             peace and to mutual edification.
                    Romans 14: 19

 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of
    the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us
  should please his neighbor for his good, to build him
                          up.
                   Romans 15: 1-2
LOVE REFRESHES THE SOUL

  “Come to me, all you who are weary and
  burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my
  yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am
 gentle and humble in heart, and you will find
rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my
                burden is light.”
             Matthew 11: 28-30
LOVE REFRESHES THE SOUL
    The Lord is my         Your love has given me
shepherd, I shall not be          great joy and
 in want... he leads me         encouragement,
beside quiet waters, he       because you, brother,
   restores my soul...         have refreshed the
    Psalm 23: 1-3              hearts of the saints.
                                 Philemon 7
LOVE GIVES A WHOLESOME LIFE
 Therefore my heart is       You have made known
   glad and my tongue           to me the path of life;
  rejoices; my body will       you will fill me with joy
  also live in hope... you     in your presence, with
  will fill me with joy in       eternal pleasures at
      your presence.               your right hand.
     Acts 2: 26, 28                Psalm 16: 11
LOVE ALWAYS HOPES

 ...God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in
God, and God in him. In this way, love is made
    complete among us so that we will have
 confidence on the day of judgment, because
 in this world we are like him. There is no fear
     in love. But perfect love drives out fear,
 because fear has to do with punishment. The
   one who fears is not made perfect in love.
                 1 John 4: 16-18
LOVE ALWAYS HOPES
 And this is my prayer: that your love may
   abound more and more in knowledge and
  depth of insight, so that you may be able to
   discern what is best and may be pure and
  blameless until the day of Christ, filled with
the fruit of righteousness that comes through
 Jesus Christ – to the glory and praise of God.
               Philippians 1: 9-11
LOVE IS MORE THAN THE USUAL

  ...And I pray that you, being rooted and
established in love, may have power, together
with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long
and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to
 know this love that surpasses knowledge –
 that you may be filled to the measure of all
               the fullness of God.
              Ephesians 3: 17-19
LOVE TRUSTS IN GOD

 Many are the woes of the wicked, but the
 Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the man who
trusts in him. Rejoice in the Lord and be glad,
you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in
                     heart!
               Psalm 32: 10-11
LOVE NEVER FAILS


  Love never fails...
 1 Corinthians 13: 8
