Love is everywhere in the Bible. But these 20 Bible verses about love are more than just inspiring quotes—they’re instructions to help you become a better person, improve your relationships, and follow Jesus Christ. God commands all of us to have charity, the pure love of Christ, toward everyone.

In times of sadness or uncertainty, sometimes it feels as though nobody could possibly understand what we’re going through. But we are never completely alone. Jesus fully understands how we feel because He has felt it, too.
