Where does love come from?
Where does love come from? Well, the easy answer is found in 1 John Chapter 4 where it says “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God (ESV)”.
However there is more to it than just that. We know that perfect biblical love can only come from God because of how perfect it is, but why did God love? Romans 5:8 tells us ”But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (ESV).
God saw the need for love, he saw us without love and felt the need to love, like a charity. Love comes from God's charity love comes from the need of love. The word used in scripture for love is agape it means unconditional love and it is directly translated from ancient Greek to English as charity. What is charity? Charity is giving without expecting anything in return. Charity is unconditional love, love without conditions.
