14 Bible Verses for Valentine’s Day

It’s hard to believe that Valentine’s Day is right around the corner.

I remember growing up, we’d pull out the construction paper, glue, stickers, glitter — all those paper craft supplies and make Valentine’s Day cards for our friends, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and anyone else we could think of!

To make the cards even more special, and to remember the One who loves us more than any human can imagine, we’d put an appropriate Bible verse inside the card.

This small collection of verses speaks of the love God has for us and that we should have for one another: regardless of gender, race, religion, or what have you. Let your kids pick their favorites and add them to Valentine’s Day cards this year! You may be a blessing to someone.

These verses are from the New King James Version:

• I John 4:10 — God loved us and sent His Son
• I Corinthians 13:13 — And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love
• I John 4:8 — God is love
• John 15:17 — Love one another
• I Corinthians 16:14 — Let all that you do be done with love
• I John 4:7 — Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God
• I John 3:18 — Let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth
• I Corinthians 13:8 — Love never fails

• Proverbs 18:24 — There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother
