In our Korean culture, we manifest devotion and love in many ways. Korean life has always played highest value on family. In Korea, we have for many centuries desired and prized large families. We have over the centuries mixed within the regions of Korea to form large family clans. Korean family names reflect our family values, with a dozen family names predominating, including Kim, Park, Lee, Kang, and Cho. Underscoring the importance of family in Korea, our families and clan keep detailed genealogical records often going back many years. Even in our modern Korea, we sometimes recall the family history with great love and joy.

Love is a wonderful part of our Korean culture. We demonstrate devotion, commitment and respect for family, elders, and superiors. We demonstrate dignity and acknowledge authority. However, God's kind of authority and love is different. God’s love is beyond our ability to measure and is eternal.

Believe and receive God’s love.

If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous, love does not brag and is not arrogant; Is it not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always endures.

Love never fails… Now three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13.

God is love. 1 John 4:8
