What does the Bible say about godly love?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible emphasizes that godly love is demonstrated through Christ's sacrificial act and is a fundamental aspect of the Christian faith.

In 1 Corinthians 13, the Apostle Paul describes godly love not merely as a feeling or emotion but as an action that embodies the essence of God's nature. This love is defined by its permanence and its active demonstration in Christ, who gave Himself as a propitiation for our sins, showcasing the ultimate expression of love towards His people. In 1 John 4:10, it is stated, 'Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.' Thus, true love, as taught in Scripture, is sacrificial, enduring, and rooted in the character of God.
