May God bless you. May God help you be in the best kind of
love. ‘Love’ is the word we always want
to hear about. All of us want ‘LOVE’, want to ‘Love’ and want to be ‘loved’.
All want to hear about ‘Love’. However, ‘love’ often creats problems and even
causes ‘suicide’, ‘murder’, and so on. This is because many youth confuse ‘love’
with ‘emotion’ and ‘lust’.
The Bible Theologians divides ‘Love’ into 3 (three) types,
namely : -
1, EROS : The first type of love is ‘Eros love’. This kind
of love deals directly with looks. “She is beautiful”, ”I like her”, or “ He is
hadsome”, “I want him” and so on. This is a selfish type of love. It’s
typically all about “me” and what makes “me” happy. Physical attraction is good
for obvious reasons, but it’s important to understand that for a healthy
relationship to last you need more.
2. PHILOS : Another type is ‘Philos love’. This kind of love
usually starts with friendship. This type of love isn’t selfish like eros. This
type of love has give and take. Philos love is better than Eros but still not
the best.
3. AGAPE : The best kind of love is “Agape love”. This kind of love is far deeper
than selfishness. It is also much greater than a love that gives and takes.
This love is also called “unconditional
love”. This love gives and expects nothing in return.
The best and highest form of love ‘Agape Love’ comes from
God. This kind of Love is “God’s Love”. God gave His Son Jesus to be a
sacrifice for us. Jesus gave his own perfect life so that we could be freed
from sin.
