LOVE, Charity, and Compassion


Deep devotion and affection.  Love for God includes devotion, adoration, reverence, tenderness, mercy, forgiveness, compassion, grace, service, gratitude, kindness.  The greatest example of God's love for his children is found in the infinite atonement of Jesus Christ.

Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, 

Lev. 19:18
18  ¶ Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.

Matt. 5:43–44
43  ¶ Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44  But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

 Matt. 22:37–40
37  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38  This is the first and great commandment.
39  And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40  On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

 Rom. 13:9
9  For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

 Gal. 5:14
14  For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

 James 2:8
8  If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

 Mosiah 23:15
15  Thus did Alma teach his people, that every man should love his neighbor as himself, that there should be no contention among them.

 D&C 59:6
6  Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.  Thou shalt not steal; neither commit adultery, nor kill, nor do anything like unto it.

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, Deut. 6:5 (Moro. 10:32; D&C 59:5). 
5  And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

The Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God, Deut. 13:3.


3  Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
