Love in Action

1 Cor 13:7 says that love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Jesus gave us a beautiful example of living this to follow, as well as Scripture that tell us the same. We can trust what God says because the Bible tells us, "For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven." -Psalm 119:89

Love believes in the testimony of Jesus Christ. 
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:16-18 NASB)

Love hopes in His word. 
For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? - (Romans 8:24 NASB)

I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. (Psalm 130:5)

Love endures all things for the sake of Christ.
Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. (Mark 8:34 NASB)

~~~ 
And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?  And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:  And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. (Mark 12:28-30)
