Is LOVE the key to happiness?

Deu 6:5 KJV - And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. |  Deu 7:7 KJV - The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye [were] the fewest of all people: | Deu 7:9 KJV - Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he [is] God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; | Deu 7:13 KJV - And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. | Psa 145:20 KJV - The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy. | Pro 4:6 KJV - Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. | Pro 5:19 KJV - [Let her be as] the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love. | Mat 5:43-48 KJV - Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 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; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. | Mat 6:5 KJV - And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites [are]: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. | Mat 6:24 KJV - No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. | Jhn 15:9-16 KJV - As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and [that] your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. | Rom 5:5 KJV - And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. | Rom 5:8 KJV - But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. | Rom 8:28-39 KJV - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who [can be] against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? [It is] God that justifieth. Who [is] he that condemneth? [It is] Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? [shall] tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. | Rom 12:9 KJV - [Let] love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. | Rom 12:10 KJV - [Be] kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; | Rom 13:8 KJV - Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. | Rom 13:10 KJV - Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love [is] the fulfilling of the law. | 1Cr 2:9 KJV - But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. | Gal 5:22 KJV - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, | Eph 3:17 KJV - That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, | Eph 3:19 KJV - And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. | Eph 4:2 KJV - With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; | Eph 4:15 KJV - But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, [even] Christ: | Eph 5:2 KJV - And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. | Eph 5:25 KJV - Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; | Eph 5:28 KJV - So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. | Phl 2:2 KJV - Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, [being] of one accord, of one mind. | Col 1:8 KJV - Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit. | Col 2:2 KJV - That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; | Col 3:19 KJV - Husbands, love [your] wives, and be not bitter against them. | 1Th 4:9 KJV - But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another. | 2Th 3:5 KJV - And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. | 1Ti 1:14 KJV - And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. | 1Ti 6:10 KJV - For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. | 1Ti 6:11 KJV - But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. | 2Ti 1:7 KJV - For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. | 2Ti 1:13 KJV - Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. | 1Jo 2:15 KJV - Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. | 1Jo 3:1 KJV - Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. | 1Jo 3:18 KJV - My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. | 1Jo 4:7-21 KJV - Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son [to be] the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 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. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. |
