What is spiritual love? When we live in this world, all we can actually think of is the physical love we can feel, but is this love real? How long can this love last? Is it good? If these answers are all negative, then what kind of love we should pursue, is the love that follows our own feelings, or is inspired by the Spirit of God to know how to be considerate of God’s love, which is Eternal love from the holy spirit

2. Preface
• What is spiritual love? When we live in this
world, all we can actually think of is the
physical love we can feel, but is this love real?
How long can this love last? Is it good? If these
answers are all negative, then what kind of
love we should pursue, is the love that follows
our own feelings, or is inspired by the Spirit of
God to know how to be considerate of God’s
love, which is Eternal love from the holy spirit

3. What is love
• Luke. 16:19 “‘There was a certain rich man who was
clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously
every day.”
• We hope our children will have such a life in the future
• Luke. 16:20 “But there was a certain beggar named
Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate,”
• Luke. 16:21 “desiring to be fed with the crumbs which
fell from the rich man's table. Moreover the dogs came
and licked his sores.”
• This is definitely not our hope that children will have
such a life in the future

4. What is love
• Luke. 16:22 “So it was that the beggar died,
and was carried by the angels to Abraham's
bosom. The rich man also died and was
buried.”
• Not bad after the beggar's death
• After the rich man died???

5. What is love
• Go to hell after the rich man dies
• Luke. 16:23 “And being in torments in Hades,
he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off,
and Lazarus in his bosom.”
• Luke. 16:24 “‘Then he cried and said, ‘Father
Abraham, have mercy on me, and send
Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in
water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented
in this flame.'”

6. What is love
• Of course we hope that everyone 1) enjoy all the glory
and wealth before death (enjoy the physical body), and
2) go to heaven after death (enjoy spiritual love)
• All the enjoyment of the flesh can be truly felt, so we
think this is the real thing, but once we die, it will all be
over.
• 2Cor. 4:18 “while we do not look at the things which
are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the
things which are seen are temporary, but the things
which are not seen are eternal.”

7. Spiritual love
• Rom. 8:9 “But you are not in the flesh but in the
Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you.
Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,
he is not His. ”
• Gal. 5:24 “And those who are Christ's have
crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.”
• Rom. 8:13 “For if you live according to the flesh
you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death
the deeds of the body, you will live.”

8. Love of flesh
• Rom. 13:14 “But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and
make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.”
• Rom. 8:4 “that the righteous requirement of the
law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk
according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.”
• 1Cor. 3:1 “And I, brethren, could not speak to you
as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes
in Christ.”

9. Love of flesh
• Rom. 7:18 “For I know that in me (that is, in
my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is
present with me, but how to perform what is
good I do not find. ”
• In my flesh) nothing good dwells

10. Father’s love
• When we were very young, we didn’t think our
father was important. It seemed that only the
mother was the backbone of the family. It didn’t
matter if the father was not there, but the love of
the father is the spiritual love closest to God,
although we can’t see it, or feel it, but he controls
the whole direction. So that the members of the
family will not lose their steps. Like my father
didn’t say a few words to me in his life, but I
remember he said that money is not the most
important thing in life.

11. Follow the will of flesh-Examples
• One year in Africa they discovered that there was an
elephant herd that caused trouble everywhere and
even killed rhinos. They carefully studied that there
was no male adult elephant in the elephant herd, so
they found a few male elephants to put in this elephant
herd. This problem is solved
• A well-known example in the United States is
Menendez’s brother. The two brothers killed their
parents with a shotgun, but in the end they were not
sentenced to death but life imprisonment. Because a
juror said that they were very pitiful, and they lost their
parents

12. By the Spirit you put
to death the deeds of the body,
• Rom. 8:13 “For if you live according to the flesh
you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death
the deeds of the body, you will live.”
• Rom. 8:6 “For to be carnally minded is death, but
to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”
• 1John. 2:15 “Do not love the world or the things
in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love
of the Father is not in him.”
• 1John. 2:16 “For all that is in the world--the lust
of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of
life--is not of the Father but is of the world.”
