1 Week Bible Study about Love

February 13, 2019February 13, 2019 ~ Tayrina Gonzalez ~ 1 Comment

Love is one of the themes of the Word of God. More than a theme is the message of the Bible. God loved us so much that sent His only son for us! During these days the concept of love have been transformed into something that is not. Today, love is about material things, having an appearance, focusing only on the physical side or aspect of demonstrating love. The communication and time of quality have changed now. It’s not the same.

I decided to take a time to make a 1 Week Bible Study about love, based on what the bible says about it. You can enjoy this bible study in one week, a month, or in the time you decide and that it’s best for you.

Bible Study about Love

Use these bible verses to deepen in the word of God and the topic of love.

John 3:16
Romans 5:8
1 Corinthians 13:4
1 John 4:7
1 Corinthians 13:6
Romans 8: 38-39
Hebrews 13:1
1 Corinthians 16:14
Proverbs 8:17
Ephesians 3:18

There are more bible verses you can look up in the bible. I invite to look more deep about how the love is represented and manifested in the word. How can be applied to our lives and those around us. You can make this bible study with your spouse, your children, as a family bible study, with your friends or just alone.
