Most Christians know that Jesus wants us loving one another. Nevertheless, loving other humans proves more difficult than loving God. So the Lord wisely included several Love One Another scriptures in the New Testament. As we read the forty-three one another scriptures listed below, His Word will empower us with the ability to choose love for each other. When you don’t feel love, choose to love. Christian love produces feelings of love, but Christian love never depends only upon feelings. “For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen,” 1 John 4:20.
May His energy-filled Word work His power-packed love for one another into our entire person!
