Everyone wants to know what love really is. What does the Bible say about love? Love is one of the central themes of Scripture and the most important virtue of the Christian life. This plan from Thistlebend Ministries explores the biblical meaning of love and how to better love God and love others.

The Apostle John had one clear message in his letters: Love one another. In the letters of 1, 2, and 3 John, the beloved disciple encouraged followers of Christ to love God by following His commands, and to love and honor fellow believers. John’s message is incredibly relevant to us today, offering insight to us as we seek to live like Jesus lived and love like Jesus loved.

This is a 21 day extract of the Once-A-Day Bible Promises Devotional with 365 daily readings focused on the promises in the Bible, designed to give you a new perspective on the God who loves you and wants you to know him better.

What is God like? It’s a big question but an important one. What we understand about God will determine how we relate to Him. The more we know about God, the better our relationship will be. God reveals who He is throughout the Bible. Every name for God tells us something about Him. Reflect on God’s character for the next 21 days and see how your love for Him grows.

One of the best ways to become more like Jesus is by making His habits our habits. We do that through the practice of spiritual disciplines. In this Plan, we are going to learn the disciplines of confession, agreeing with God, and repentance, aiming our lives toward God.
