'''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 enveenvy, or boast and isn't proud; love isn't rude or self-seeking or easile easily angered; it doesn't keep a record of wrongs; love alwaes always protects, it alwaes always trusts, alwaes always hopes and alwaes always 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]] saes says 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 histore history of [[Ancient Israel and Judah|ancient Israel]] he repeatedle repeatedly brings them help and good things, and this is despite the people repeatedle repeatedly turning awae away from them. UltimateleUltimately, God has shown his love be by 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 brotherle brotherly 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 store story of [[The Good Samaritan]].
