If the greatest thing is love. And that the fullfillment of the Christian faith is love.

1Jo 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

Ok love. So what is love? In the verse I am using ie 1 John 4:16 love translates from the Greek word agape. Most people seem to think that love is a feeling or a emotion and will tend to define it in those terms. However I was struck by the video that Faith Goldy showed, which was a video of a Roman Catholic priest. In which he defined love in different terms. On his platform he had a large wooden cross, and he went up to it and pointed to it and maybe even put his arms wound it, and said THIS IS LOVE. It is not a feeling or a emotion. Is love goosebumps and tears?

Joh 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Here the Lord Jesus is not talking about goosbumps and tears. He is talking about laying down ones life for ones friends.......i believe that this is more than a feeling but a action.
