Song of Solomon 8:6
Song of Solomon 8:6
Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm.
Love is often seen as an emotion or a fleeting feeling, but the Bible reveals love as a powerful and enduring commitment. The phrase "Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm" speaks to the deep, permanent bond that love creates between two people. A seal in ancient times was used to mark something as official, unique, and unbreakable. When we ask God to set His love as a seal upon our hearts and arms, we are acknowledging that His love should be the foundation of all that we do. This love is not easily swayed by circumstances, nor does it fade with time. It is the kind of love that is committed, steadfast, and willing to endure all things. It is a love that doesn’t give up, even when challenges arise. This love also bears the mark of righteousness, as it is rooted in God’s holy and perfect love. It inspires us to live in harmony with His will, marking our hearts and actions with peace, righteousness, and commitment. In a world where relationships can be fragile and easily broken, God’s love stands as the ultimate model of unwavering devotion. This love should be the seal upon our hearts, not only in our relationships with others but in our relationship with God, guiding our every step.
1 John 4:20
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
1 John 4:12
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
Jeremiah 31:3
The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
1 John 2:5
But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
