What does the Bible say about love?
What Scripture says
He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.
1 John 4:8
Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud,
1 Corinthians 13:4
Love doesn’t harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
Romans 13:10
Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
Matthew 22:37
and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
Mark 12:33
Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.
Ephesians 5:2

A reflection
The Bible teaches that love is fundamental to knowing God, as seen in 1 John 4:8. It describes love as patient, kind, and the fulfillment of the law (1 Corinthians 13:4; Romans 13:10), and emphasizes the importance of loving God fully and our neighbors as ourselves (Matthew 22:37; Mark 12:33). Ultimately, love is not just an action; it is a reflection of God's nature and the call to believers to walk in love (Ephesians 5:2).
