Voddie Baucham Defines Biblical Love

November 1, 2010 by Christina

“Biblical love says, “I choose to love you, and I’m not going anywhere.”

Biblical love knows nothing of backing out when things get tough.

Biblical love gives without expecting, goes the extra mile, sacrifices for others, and views divorce as a tragic and unnecessary plague visited upon a culture that has settled for a lie.

Biblical love is not constantly seeking the emotional high that often characterizes immature relationships but instead is content with the depth and breadth that only the love of a maturing, godly relationship can provide.”

– Voddie Baucham

HT: Defending. Contending.

    Love this truth…even though I often find the giving without expecting hard to live out. By His grace, right dear friend?! I am thankful for that maturing love that is content with depth and breadth instead of emotional highs. Thanks so much for sharing this, Christina!

      Oh yes, Trisha. It is all of grace!

      And that is what those who have never known redemption can never know. His grace is greater!

      Blessings to you Trisha! Your visits always warm my heart!
