Yikes.

Just a little refresher for myself about what I claim to be all about.




A new command I give to you: Love one another.  As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart.

May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance.

And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

this one's cool...stay with it.

...for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law.  The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not covet," "and whatever other commandments there may be, are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to its neighbor.  Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind: This is the first and greatest commandment.  And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself."

If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar.  For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.  And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.

We love because he first loved us.

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only son into the world that we might live through him.  This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.  Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.  No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

Greater love has no one that this, that he may lay down his life for his friends.

But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.  Against such things there is no law.



Like I said, Yikes.
