1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
Right there, you see God tell us almost directly what love actually is. I feel like (depending where you grow up of course) the word love doesn't always quite mean that. We tend to over-use the word love. But not just that, we say we love our friends or family etc. but than you read this verse. I question, do I actually love them this way? The way God told us too? You can also take this in an encouraging way, because we know that God loves us, and that this is how He loves us.
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world,that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Another amazing example of love! The greatest one of all in my opinion. I am young and I don't have any kids obviously, but if you do, try to imagine! Having your only child go and die so other's can live, knowing that so many people will not want the free gift. I don't know if I could love like that, God loves us so much.
