Love. Christianity's most sacred value

Many contemporary christian scholars may argue when it comes describing the most representative feature of Christianity . 
Some would try to give a answer by extracting fragments from the Bible or other religious texts , some may backup their ideas with doctrines and dogmas . 
What many don't realize that the essence of our faith dose not consist of rigid dogmatic and doctrinal systems , the essence of our faith is within us , each of us is filled with it as a result of our divine creation ...that essence is Love.
 It is truly the most representative teaching that Christianity has to offer , love that is offered freely and with no hidden intention . 
This fundamental value has faded over time , this was the result of the Church's involvement in fields that were not to christian friendly , making compromises with full intention or unintentionally . 
Sadly , political interests got mixed in the Church's life and the result was comparable to a container of toxic waist . Unconditional love is hard to be obtained in the society in which we live where the media bombards us constantly with messages of hate that make certain media products more attractive to the general public.
Let's try to open the windows of our heart and let all the love of the universe inside of us , clearing all the stains and scars that hate marked us with . 
Let's try to train our mind and heart to be more generous and compassionate with the ones around us , if you are a christian or not , you can agree on the statement that all the love that you put out there will come back to you at one point.
