What is true love? Is It Valentine’s Day?What is true love? Is It Valentine’s Day?What is true love? Is It Valentine’s Day?What is true love? Is It Valentine’s Day? By now, you’re probably seeing Valentine’s Day promoted on television

and in stores. Many people call it the “holiday day of love.” Commercials and

advertisements encourage people to buy greeting cards, jewelry, flowers, or

heart shaped boxes of

candy to show their

love to those they care

about. But is Valen-

tine’s Day really the

“holiday day of love”?

The short answer is no.

Yahweh does not con-

done our participation

in pagan holidays. In

modern times, Valen-

tine’s Day is also a

money making ploy to

get people to spend money. We are made to feel guilty if we don’t buy the

people we love presents. But what does the Bible say about true love? Does

the Bible say that heart shaped boxes of candy really shows our love to peo-

ple? No! The absolute best way to show people love is to tell them that you

love them! And serving one another is also a good way. Being nice to one

another is also a way to express love. Of course there is nothing wrong with

giving gifts to one another, but the Bible mentions more important ways to

show love. Yahweh showed the ultimate example of true love when He sent

His Son Yahshua to die for our sins, so that we may be saved.

In closing, let’s read 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a (NIV), “Love is patient, love is

kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not

self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does

not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts,

always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”

Do not fall into the trap of following

their [pagan] customs and worship-

ing their gods. Do not inquire about

their gods, saying, ‘How do these

nations worship their gods? I want

to follow their example.’ You must

not worship Yahweh your Elohim

the way the other nations worship

their gods, for they perform for their

gods every detestable act that Yah-

weh hates. They even burn their sons

and daughters as sacrifices to their

gods. So be careful to obey all the

commands I give you. You must not

add anything to them or subtract

anything from them!
