What Would Jesus Do? Love!

What Would Jesus Do? In any situation or circumstance Jesus would Love. 

In Matthew 22 a pharisee asked Jesus, what is the greatest commandment? In verse 37, 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. All the Law and Prophets hang on these two commandments.
1 Corinthians 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is Love.
Love Your Enemies:
Matthew 5:44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, (46) If you love those who love you, what reward will you get?


Luke 6:35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend them without expecting to get anything back.

Love:
Romans 12:9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. (10) Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.
Romans 13:10 Love does no harm to it's neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

1 Corinthians 13:3 If I give all I poses to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. (4) Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. (5) It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs. (6) Love dose not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. (7) It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves.(8) Love never fails.
Why Do We Love?
We love because Jesus clearly stated that it is the first and greatest commandment, we love because we are made with the need to love and be loved.
But 1 John 4:19 says it best: We love because he first loved us.
1 John 3:1 How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be children of God!

1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death.
1 John 4:10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an anointing sacrifice for our sins.
1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. (12) No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.



How Do We Love?
1 John 3:16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. (18) Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions in truth.
1 John 5:3 This is love for God: to obey his commands.
 


The Bible teaches us what love is, what it does, and how we should love. Loving isn't always our first instinct or reaction, but it's the most important one we can have; whoever does not love his neighbor does not love God. Let us love God by loving him. Obey his greatest command to LOVE> EVERYONE!
