Discusses basic concepts of love. God is love. God is the first lover (1 John 4:19). God loves us in spite of ourselves, even while we are sinners. Outlines the two greatest commandments: (1) love God, and (2) love our neighbor. Even when we suffer persecution, we are to love our enemies. Love causes us to forgive those who sin against us. Love is a sign of strength, not weakness. Explains the Golden Rule. Concludes with 1 Corinthians 13, the "love chapter."
