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 envy, or boast and isn't proud; love isn't rude or self-seeking or easily angered; it doesn't keep a record of wrongs; love always protects, it always trusts, always hopes and always perseveres; it never fails. [[God]] has a character of complete love and he calls us to love like he does. ''(Please contribute to this article which remains a stub)''

In simplest terms, the [[church]] is the Christian community of believers, that is, it is the people of God gathered together. Sometimes the word '''church''' is also used to refer to a [[church building]] (the building used in [[Christian]] [[worship]]) or a [[church service]] (the weekly meeting of a group of Christians in a church building) or to a church [[denomination]]. Ecclesiology means the study of the doctrine of the church.
