Once a year on Feb. 14, the world is enamored with the idea of love. But the world’s idea of love is overrated. The world only knows three kinds of love. One, ‘I love you for the way you make me feel.’ Two, ‘I love you because I like the way you look.’ Three, ‘I will love you if you act the way I want.’ All of these fall short of the way the Bible defines love. Biblical love is the love God has toward us and the love we are to have toward one another. It is ‘I love you in spite of how you make me feel, or how you look, or what you are able to do for me.’
Biblical love is expressed not in a feeling, but in action. Love is not given because it’s deserved. Love is given even when it’s not deserved. God loves us even though there is every reason for Him not to love us. The Bible tells us that as an act of God’s love He died for us while we were yet sinners. Unarguably, the greatest verse in Gods’ Word is found in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.”
On this Valentine’s Day may you receive the fullness of God’s love by believing in His Son, Jesus Christ.
