"1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing......
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
-1 Corinthians 13 (view all of chapter 13 here)
In America it is really easy to fake being a Christian. If you use the right terms like "saved" and give answers most have grown up hearing to questions about the bible. Go to church, sing songs, go home. If God's love is not in you through these things then they are meaningless. We often underestimate the power of love. Love held Jesus on the cross, love washed away our sins and love prompted God to forgive us wretches so he can spend eternity with us. Yes, he loves us enough that he wants to see everyone in eternity.
