Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that
loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8
He that loveth not knoweth not God;
for God is love.
a. Eros (erotic) – sexual love
- the feelings of arousal that are shared between people who are physically
attracted to one another
b. Storge – natural, familial love
- love shown between a parent and a child
c. Phileo – brotherly love
- exhibited in a close friendship
- involve feelings of warmth and affection toward another person
d. Agape – in New Testament, often translated as love
- self- sacrifice
- not sexual love, friendship or brotherly love, nor charity
- love which is of and from God, whose virtue is love itself
 God’s love is different from sappy, sentimental love such as we often hear portrayed.
 Real love bleeds.
 John 13:34(NIV) “A new command I give to you: love one another. As I have loved you,
so you must love one another.”
