What are you doing with love?
Manage episode 433114417 series 3575558
There are three types of love in the world. The Greek words for them, of course, are well known among our people. Agapeo, Phileo, and Eros.
For the most part, the world knows the most about the last. The middle one, they know a little about, because if you're going to be a good businessman, you at least have to practice Phileo. But only those who are born again of God's Spirit and put on the mind of Christ know the agapeo type of love.
This is a new kind of love, people, that was first introduced and brought to this world with Jesus Christ. And John 3, 16 says, For God so what? Loved. That he gave his only begotten Son.
Until God so loved that he gave his only begotten Son, this new type of agapeo love was just not available. Because this agapeo love is a love that's introduced into the inner man, which is the Christ in you, the hope of glory. Love at best before the introduction of this agapeo kind of love was Phileo.
