Abstract or Introduction
The fundamental concept of love in the Bible was established by God many years before he began the actual creation exercise. God want us to love him with all our hearts, mind, and spirit for there is no way out of this. The same share of love should be to our neighbors, irrespective of our tribe, nation, race, or color. Love is a character of God, the fundamental concept of the Old Testament. The concept of love extends from sexual love to the love between God and humanity expressed within the community of covenant relationships. This paper therefore, examines the term love in the Old Testament salvation history, covering secular and religious love, with the view to discussing what love in the Old Testament entails and how love can be emulated.
