70 Amazing Bible Verses About Love

Love is fundamental to the Christian faith. In the Matthew 22 verse 36, a Pharisee wanted to test Jesus. So the Pharisee asked:

“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in 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.”

To conclude His response, Jesus said in Matthew 22 vs 40:

“All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

See that. That shows the importance of love in living our life and pleasing Our Maker. To help you fulfil the two greatest commandments in the Bible, we will look at 50 amazing Bible verses about love.
