You can’t get enough of seeing this person.The focus of puppy love is on feelings (usually your own)– which can change quickly without explanation. The feelings that are commonly felt are very intense feelings of desire, passion and excitement. It is part of an immature relationship without the long term commitments that comes with mature relationships. Puppy love (infatuation) is the first kind of romantic love we feel as teenagers. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable. And walk in love as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.Young love is a flame beautiful, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. “Therefore, be imitators of God as beloved children. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” Ephesians 5:1-2 It doesn't insist on its own way it isn't irritable or resentful it doesn't rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. “Love is patient and kind love doesn't envy or boast it isn't arrogant or rude. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that whoever believes in him shouldn't perish but have eternal life.” 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7 In this is love, not that we've loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” John 3:16 In this, the love of God was made manifest among us that God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him. “Anyone who doesn't love doesn't know God because God is love. Now that you have a better grasp of what agape means, let’s take a look at some examples in scripture. This demanded a new form of love, a love that was like Christ’s own: agape love. Jesus demonstrated to His followers that they must love one another with the same sacrifice He did.
But why is agape love considered the highest form of love? The four loves are all important in their own way. One could even argue that agape love is real love in its purest form. The will to act is what awakens agape - not just emotions, feelings, familiarity, or attraction. When we love in agape, we aren't concerned with our own good but with the greatest good of another. Nowadays, we tend to think of charity as giving away money or things, but that doesn't encompass agape's full scope. Philia can be strongly associated with agape as well, considering in John 15:13, Jesus said that there’s no greater agape than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.Īgape can be defined as charity. In Romans 12:10, Paul urges the believers to be devoted to one another in brotherly philia. Modern culture often overlooks philia, but the Bible encourages its practice. In addition to caring about one another, friends are attracted to one another because of similar interests. Whereas lovers are bonded to each other through eros, philia occurs from bonding over similar interests.
