The Love of Christ Compels Us
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.
Proverbs 17:17
We love because he first loved us. Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.
1 John 4:19-21
