Christians come in all shapes and sizes. They come from different backgrounds, different experiences and different lifestyles. The love of Christ is what brings all Christians together, so here are 25 Bible verses to remind us of his love and to teach us how we should love.

What is Love:

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves."

Jesus is Love:

No matter who you love, where you love or why you love, Christ shows us how to love. And that love is for all.
