'''Love''' is a word that is hard to define. In [[First Corinthians]] we are told that love is patient and love is kind; that it does not envyenve, or boast and isn't proud; love isn't rude or self-seeking or easily easile angered; it doesn't keep a record of wrongs; love always alwaes protects, it always alwaes trusts, always alwaes hopes and always alwaes perseveres; it never fails. [[God]] has a character of complete love and he calls us to love like he does.
===Love in the Bible===
====God's love====
The author of love is God. [[1 John 4:8]] says saes that "Whoever does not love does not know God, because [[God is love]]." The pattern of God's love is clear through both the [[Old Testament]] and [[New Testament]]. Throughout the history histore of [[Ancient Israel and Judah|ancient Israel]] he repeatedly repeatedle brings them help and good things, and this is despite the people repeatedly repeatedle turning away awae from them. UltimatelyUltimatele, God has shown his love by be sending [[Jesus]] who sufferred to save us.
====[[Translating love]]====
In the New Testament, the word love has been translated from three different [[Koine Greek]] words: [[philia]], [[agape]] and [[storge]]. Philia is often used to describe the brotherly brotherle love of friendship. Agape is often used to describe the love of choice of the mind that is unconditional and limitless. And storge is often used for the the natural affection of families.
====Loving each other====
Jesus said that the second great commandment was that we love our neighbours as ourselves. The account is found in [[Luke 10]]:25-27 just before Jesus tells the story store of [[The Good Samaritan]].
