Four Kinds of Love in Scriptures

This blog post will help you explore the four types of love in the Bible. You will realize that not all love that you feel is one and the same. You will learn that God deserves your love more than anything or anyone else. This is Valentine’s blog post to prepare your hearts in the love month.

We are inspired to talk about love not only because it is the month of hearts but our business and ministry encapsulates love. Love is more than lip service, it is shown. Let us now discuss the four kinds of love in Scriptures.

There are four Greek words signifying four different types of love.

Eros is the Greek mythology character, the God of love, physical attraction, sexual desire, passion, and romance. We are more familiar with Cupid, its Roman counterpart.

Erotic love is between two people who are in love and demonstrating physical love towards each other. This is the type of love that we almost always see in films, commercials, and other forms of media.

Three Truths Proving That He is Love

This blog post will walk you through the evidence why God is love. After reading this blog post, you will comprehend deeply this kind of love that saves, heals, provides, and protects. God is love and will always be love. Nothing can change that. His love is encompassing that transcends time, space, shapes, and forms. The knowledge of His love and its demonstration in our lives are what we need to live out His glorious destiny for us.

Many times in our lives we are so overwhelmed with the bombarding thoughts that maybe God doesn’t love you. If he loves you, why is that happening to you?

Firstly, before we go onto great lengths of discussing the essential truth that He loves you, let us have a firm foundation that He is love. We can then tie up these four truths proving that He is love to the fact that regardless of the situation and how you feel, nothing can change His love for you.

God is love. There are truths proving that he is love:

God is love as the Bible says it so. The Scriptures is replete with verses that God is love.

2018 has just ended and we are welcoming the new year not with resolutions but with God’s words and prescriptions to start it right. There are so many things that we can do for God this new year but the number one in our list is Loving God Above All.

Why is this so?

The love of God is the only compelling force that created the world and mankind and maintains harmony amidst diversity throughout all creation. What we can do is to love God above all.

There are four reasons why we need to love God above all.

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:”

Jesus Is The Reason

The most festive season of giving and sharing love has finally come this year. Many folks are excited as this holiday unites them with their families and loved ones. The spirit of Christmas is more than the grandiose Christmas decors, overflowing buffet, and warmest greeting cards. There must be a deeper reason behind it.

In the many years that we have been celebrating Christmas, there are moments that it feels like it’s just coming out as a routine. When the BER months set in, we start hearing Christmas carols and feeling the cool breeze of air. But, what does Christmas signify? Why do we celebrate it?

Since the beginning of time, when God’s original plan for man came to naught after the first couple sinned, God’s redemptive plan came into effect. It was prophesied and foretold that there will be a coming Savior and Redeemer who will rescue mankind from their sins and reconcile them back to God. After four thousand years, this promised Savior was born on Christmas day.

“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins”

Matthew 1:21 KJV

God Loves Us Despite Of Always

No man can fathom the height, depth, and intensity of God’s love. He created the universes and galaxies and yet mankind will always be the recipient of His magnanimous love.

He created man to steward all creation, great and small, and also to fellowship or commune with Him. He is a relational God, a personal God who always wants to speak with, engage with, and be with humans.

For six thousand years since the creation of everything, God has been providing, protecting, pursuing, and loving mankind. We all know the Genesis account of the fall of man where the first couple fell into sin where the corruption of man and this world began.

Man used to be perfect but this sin of disobedience nullified it.

“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”

This blog post will walk you through the 3 ways God demonstrates His love for mankind. We may not realize it yet, but God is desperately pursuing us and showing us His love in tangible ways more than we can ask, think or imagine.

Romans 5:8: But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us

At times, God works in mysterious ways. We cannot always fathom the depths of His wisdom and bountiful heart but we can always search for clues on how to comprehend Him in simple terms.

Many people call God's love for mankind as Crazy Love because no matter how obstinate and difficult people are, God is always there to forgive and love unconditionally regardless of situations and conditions.

How does God Show His Love For Us?

For all of you who were baptized into Christ [into a spiritual union with the Christ, the Anointed] have clothed yourselves with Christ [that is, you have taken on His characteristics and values]. – Galatians 3:27

God is love. Before the creation of man, the world has already been prepared in advance by God. Everything that will sustain life is already made available beforehand.

Creation has been formed only through the words of God. When He spoke, everything came into existence out of nothing. It was only man that has been created through the dust from the ground formed into a being. God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.

Adam has been given the divine authority to rule over creation. In fact, God authorized him to name every living creature or animals – the birds, fishes, and the land animals. Whatever he called them became their name.

However, there is no suitable companion for Adam out of all creation. It is not good for him to be alone. He needs a help mate for him. So, God caused him to sleep deeply and took one of his ribs and formed into a woman.
