# 8 - LOVE: THE CENTERPIECE OF CHRISTIANITY (continued)

This is number 8 in our first series of “Get Biblical Understanding” In this session we’re continuing our review of many of the verses that have to do with love. There is no other biblical topic more important than this one. Therefore it is imperative that we “get understanding” of this tremendous attribute of God.The theme of this session is: LOVE: THE CENTERPIECE OF CHRISTIANITY (continued)2 Thessalonians 3:5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. 1 Timothy 1:5 Now the end [purpose] of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned [genuine]:1 Timothy 1:14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.1 Timothy 4:12-13 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation [conduct], in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
