How do you demonstrate it? To be able to practice love, you need to know what it is biblically. Throughout Scripture, love is characterized as an action. =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0First of all, love teaches the truth to others (Eph.4:15) and ministers to the their needs (Heb. 6:10). It sets an example by serving others and stimulating them to grow (Gal.5:13). It covers other people's faults (1 Peter 4:8) and forgives (Eph. 4:32). Love also endures the problems and idiosyncrasies of others (1 Cor. 13:7) and sacrifices on their behalf (John 15:13=9614). =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0Self=96sacrifical love gives spiritual truth, help, and concern to those in need. We owe everyone that kind of love and should not owe anything else. That's the heart of Christian living; it's the magnet that attracts the world. =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0Love Mystic Blue
