Galatians 5:22-23 John 13:34-35 1 John 4:7-8
As we continue with our Christian Character series today, we are looking at the character of LOVE. Christian character distinguishes a true Christian. Anyone that exhibits these characters and bear them as fruits will impact the world for God
Love is our brand, we exist to love and worship God, to demonstrate His transforming love to the saved and unsaved man, in order to make him an agent of that love. God’s spirit is in you so you can bear the fruit of love.
Some Definitions of LOVE:
- Love is an intense feeling of deep affection.
- Love is great interest and pleasure in somebody.
- Love is an attachment and devotion to a person.
These definitions of love are correct but not complete. Love is one of the fruits of the spirit, this is AGAPE love.
Four Types of Love:
- Eros – erotic love
- Philia – Love for brothers and friends
- Storge - Love of a Parent
- Agape – Unconditional, self-sacrificing.
Agape Love was activated when God gave Himself through Christ for us. It is the steady intention of a will to do someone else good sacrificially with no selfish intention. Agape Love is self-sacrificing commitment in seeking the highest good of the one you love. This love is only sourced from God. It can only be exhibited by those who have the spirit of God. God will not call us to do what He has not empowered us to do. You are empowered to love like God
