1 Corinthians 13:13, "Three things will last forever -- faith, hope, and love -- and the greatest of these is love."
Of all the commands in the Bible and among all the great virtues, love reigns supreme. Why, you ask? Well, it may be that faith and hope are both expressed through love.
It may be because God is Love!
At any rate, it's clear from the above Bible verse that love will last and it is the greatest virtue.
More to Consider About Love
The best way to minister to the Body of Christ is by exercising love. (1 Corinthians 13)

The Highest Love
The greatest love is from a rarely used word in the Greek language, agape. It describes a love that gives to the basic needs of others without any expectation of personal gain. It is a love that is genuine from the one who loves with no thought of the worthiness of the one who is loved.
It is the Love mentioned in John 3:16.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
