Paul reminds us in I Corinthians 13 that love is at the core of the Christian faith. The list that we hear many times at weddings has so many more applications to everyday life.
Love is: patient, kind, protecting, trusting, hoping and persevering Love is not: envious, boastful, self-seeking…it does not delight in evil.

Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us here at WNZR! I hope your Valentine’s Day has been amazing so far!
Today on the show I talked about different things that are associated with Valentine’s Day such as how much we spend on this Valentine’s Day, how many roses are made each year, how many cards are exchanged each year, and I gave a breakdown on where our money gets spent on specific gifts for Valentine’s Day. I also shared some Bible verses that are associated with love. Also, we had our weekly Who am I? trivia question where one lucky person has a chance to win a $5 gift card to Watts Restaurant.
Here are some different facts about Valentine’s Day that I featured on today’s show:
The Meaning of Love in The Bible
In the Bible, love is the essence of God’s character and the defining quality of his selfless, life-giving relationship with humanity. The biblical authors display the meaning of love through stories, poetry, and discourse. Hebrew words such as khesed (loyal love) and ahavah (affectionate, caring love) teach us about specific qualities essential to the concept of real love. And Greek terms such as agápe (divine love) and philia (familial love) emphasize the unique ways that God, friends, family, partners, and enemies can love one another. Beyond specific terms, the overarching story of the Bible ultimately describes love as the act of putting others before oneself—serving the interest and well-being of another.
The Love of God According to the Bible
The love of God can describe God’s love for humanity or humanity’s love for God. The biblical authors show us how God’s love for humanity is selfless, just, and unbreakable. They also show how God acts in love toward people, and how people respond to God’s love, while inviting readers to love God with everything they’ve got.
