Christianity is a religion of love because the Christian God is love (2 Cor 13:11; 1 John 4:8). God loved the world to the extent that he gave his only Son for it (John 3:16). Christians are called to love God above all, and to love their neighbors as themselves (Matthew 22:37-39). Nor does God leave Christians to try to work up this love by themselves – he sends the Holy Spirit with gifts (1 Cor 13) and fruits (Gal 5:22) of love.
