In 1974, Dolly Parton wrote the chart-topping country hit, “I Will Always Love You.” The iconic love song reached its crowning moment when Whitney Houston recorded it for the soundtrack to the 1992 film The Bodyguard. Houston’s version of the song reached No. 1 in over twelve countries, won many awards, and has over 1.7 billion views on YouTube. Years later, the world is still full of love songs. Some are shallow, some are vulgar, some are sweet. Most of them are easily forgettable because most of them ignore the source of real love, God Himself.
Two thousand years before Whitney Houston, the apostle John wrote the short letter of 1 John. In five chapters, John used a variation of the word love more than twenty-five times, more than any other book in the New Testament. And what John says about love is more than a soulful declaration of love.
