Quotes on Love Inspire Us
Love is our deepest need and greatest gift.
In the busyness of our days, we all need a little nudge to love well and love much. Short quotes are memorable and can have a high impact. Several of these verses and thoughts have come to mind as I go about my day.
In this free printable quote collection you’ll find a few Bible verses as well as quotes from authors, pastors, and famous people. I couldn’t resist adding a couple of quotes from my favorite philosopher, Winnie the Pooh.
Here are a few thoughts on the power of love from Six Powerful Lessons on Love and Humility from the Last Supper:
- Love is like oxygen. We need to know we are loved and we need to love others.
- Loving God and loving one another is the one foundation we cannot do without.
- Love is where life is lived, salvation worked out, and victory won.
- Love is the motivation of humility.
Without love, service is meaningless, teaching becomes noise, and faith misses the point. Without love we are bankrupt souls and our greatest work turns to dust in the light of eternity.
A Biblical Description of Love from 1 Corinthians 13
The Apostle Paul described the importance of love with these famous words:
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails . . . .And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:1-8,13 ESV
