So yesterday, we talked on Phileo AKA conditional love AKA love of friendship. So umm before you judge based on the title?, kindly read to the end and if you haven’t been following our short series, kindly go back 2 posts to where we took off. God bless.
If after reading, you feel convicted or offended, don’t fight it, just ask God for mercy and start afresh.
Eros or Sexual love, does this have anything to do with true love? No because sex can occur without an iota of love, happens all the time with them one nightstands and love can exist without sex.
Eros on it’s own has no regard for feelings or desires of the other person, it is only after personal interests.
For the unmarried people, God gave us as part of His 10 commandments not to commit fornication so Sexual love outside marriage asides it not being true love, it is a sin. There are other ways of expressing you love people like praying with them, being there for them, etc
For the married people, sex should be an expression of love and it is ordained by God for just married people just like when you are playing a game and get to the next level, you get bonuses and all. Adultery is a no no.
Remember, “if you love me, you will keep MY commands.” – John 14:15 And those are part of His commands.
If there’s any way you have fallen short, just kneel before God and ask for mercy and do your best with the help of the Holy Spirt to live right.
So what is true love? Wait for it, we are almost there?. God bless you as we show God that we truly love Him.
Questions? Just post in the comment section and will probably do a question and answer session in a couple of days to answer them.
