Many people have no idea what true, unconditional love really is. Paul made an accurate description of love in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, 13. : “Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy; is not boastful; is not conceited; does not act improperly; is not selfish; is not provoked; does not keep a record of wrong; finds no joy in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth, bears all things; believes all things, endures all things. Now these three remain: faith, hope, love. But the greatest of these is love.” Christ showed unconditional love to anyone who wanted it. He spared his dignity and his pride for any old person that needed his help. The most spectacular account in history of unconditional love is also displayed by Jesus; He loved us when we mocked and scorned Him. He took our sin upon Himself so we could live eternally. His dignity was ripped away when he humbly walked up that hill and died on that cross...for us. I've never had anyone but Jesus, do anything so...amazing, selfless, kind, loving, inspiring, humble...the list goes on. “In Christianity, the term “Unconditional love” would be more accurately described as Christ’s forgiveness.” We can show simple love by simply displaying acts of kindness, but, we will not truly show unconditional love until we study what Christ did, and why he did it. Loving someone is also not judging them. Jesus did not judge the adulteress thrown at His feet by the Pharisees. He protected her, saved her life, he loved her. The only way to truly grasp and define love is in one word, one name, one being: Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 13: 4-7, 13
Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy; is not boastful; is not conceited; does not act improperly; is not selfish; is not provoked; does not keep a record of wrong; finds no joy in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth, bears all things; believes all things, endures all things. Now these three remain: faith, hope, love. But the greatest of these is love.”
