Love is the thread through the whole of Scripture — God’s love for us, and the love he grows in us for one another.
These verses remind you how deeply you’re loved, and how to love in return.
These Bible verses about love run from God’s love for us — ‘For God so loved the world’ — to the love he grows in us for one another. Together they show how wide, long, high, and deep the Father’s love truly is.
