Love is the greatest commandment in Biblical teachings. When one becomes a Christian he needs to grow in love and faith. God showed His love to the world by sending His one and only Son to die on the cross. Therefore, Christians should imitate God's love and love neighbor as themselves.

1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
