I believe the Scriptures show that God measures our spiritual maturity in part by how much we love other people. Check out these verses and let it remind you how important it is that our faith in God results in love for people.
- John 13:34, love each other
- John 15:12, love each other in the same way I have loved you
- John 15:17, this is my command - love each other
- Romans 12:10, love each other, take delight in honoring each other
- 1 Thessalonians 3:12, may your love for one another and for all people grow and overflow
- 1 Thessalonians 4:9, love each other
- Hebrews 13:1, keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters
- 1 Peter 1:22, show sincere love to each other...love each other deeply with all your heart
- 1 Peter 4:8, most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other
- 1 John 3:18, lets not merely say we love each other, let us show it by our actions
- 1 John 4:11, since God loved us so much, we surely ought to love each other
- 1 John 4:12, no one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us (people get a glimpse of God and what he is like through our loving actions)
- 2 John 5, we should love one another
Why not make it your goal today to let your love for God be demonstrated through your loving actions towards others?
