Love, Love, Love, Love, Love... we hear the word everyday but do we really ever stop and think what it truely means??? What is love??? Well... this is what the Bible says...
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." ~ John 3:16 ~ Wow! Our Heavenly Father loved us so much that He sent his son, Jesus Christ, here to earth to die for our sins. I mean He sent Christ knowing that he would have to suffer and would die... if that's not love I don't know what is...
"Because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our transgressions - it is by grace you have been saved." Ephesians 2:4-5 ~ God loves us so much that He gives us grace and mercy... He gives us life...
"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." ~ John 15:12-13 ~ If we all could live with a love like this can you think of what the world would be like...
"Love is patient, love is kind. It doesnot boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always hopes, always perseveres." ~ 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 ~ This is true love...
"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." ~1 John 4:18 ~
This are the different kinds of love...
eros [ERR-OS] (mushi or sexual love)
phileos (brotherly love)
phileos (brotherly love)
storge (parental love)
agape [Ah-Gah-Pay] (God's love for us) (which is unfailing and unlike any other love nothing can come close to the way God loves us)
Just remember that love isn't just a word... It is a feeling and a way to live... :)
