A BALANCE UNDERSTANDING OF LOVE FROM THE BIBLE.
1. John 3:16
2. AGAPE this means love, It speaks of God's love, Divine love. A love that flows from God through us to others. The seed of this love is planted in us when we become Children of God through a conversion of experience. this kind of love is unconditional, no string attached.
3. PHILEO this also translated as love. It is a love based on feelings and affections for another. this is a love that thrives on some conditions being in place and easily dies ,when the climate is not right.
4. EROS it means love, but based on passion, sexual drives and attraction. this kind of love deals with sexual passions and romance, very erotic.
5. STORGE is love based on family ties and blood rerlations. this is the love that exist among family members. when this love is contaminated with Eros, it can leads to all kinds of evil.
The above enumerated types of love will aid in having a balanced life void of wrong assumptions, unrealistic expectation and crafty deception. love is more than a feeling, it is choosing to accept and be committed to someone due to Divine inspiration. Marriage requires all the four loves to be in place, because when you get married, you need them all.
