Whoever loves a brother or sister lives in the light, and in such a person there is no cause for stumbling. – 1 John 2:10
This simple verse makes a profound connection between 1.) the light we live in when we love our brothers and sisters as Christ loved us, and 2.) our ability to rise above temptation, testing and all kinds of sin (stumbling).
1 Peter 4:8 says: Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins.
So this is the Bible’s Valentine’s Day admonition: Love well!
