One Word

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”(Galatians 5:14, ESV)

One word: love. Greek: agape meaning selfless, no-strings-attached love. If anyone wants to know what being a Christian is all about, its love. God's love for us. Our love for one another. Even love for self. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 13, "Now these three remain: faith, hope, and love, and the greatest of these is love." Jesus says the greatest commandments are to love God and to love our neighbors as ourselves (Matthew 22:36-40). John writes that God is love (1 John 4:8). Tender love. Tough love. Honest love. Forgiving love. Selfless love. Risk-taking love. Vulnerable love. Faithful love. That's us. Christians are lovers.
