THREE KINDS OF LOVE
Have you ever experienced real, genuine Love? Chances are you never have! |
| Read the following and determine for yourself the kind of love you have experienced. |
| The most common love to be experienced is the kind that stems from a parent who has given birth, to that which appeals to the fleshly appetite, including sexual relationships. This kind of love is better known as Natural Affections. It takes no effort, whatever, to produce this type of love. If something or someone appeals to the flesh, there is an automatic response. There is no reasoning behind this love. If you love ice cream, it’s only natural. If you love your little baby, it’s only natural. The problem with this kind of love is, it so often fails. Your taste buds can go bad. People, so often, lose their affections for their children and put them out or give them away. This love is not genuine! |
| Love – Kindness is the most popular kind known to the human race. It is known by many names and in different degrees. Here are some of the names: puppy love, infatuation, blind love, and sometimes it is called, being deeply in love. This is the type of love that people fall into, better known as “falling in love”. This love is totally dependent upon nourishment and outer support to keep it going. Have you ever known anyone to have fallen in love, gotten married, had children, then grandchildren, then divorce? Have you ever heard tell of a man who falls deeply in love with a woman, treats her like a queen, and one year later physically abuses her? If Love-Kindness is not properly cared for, on a daily basis, it will quickly grow cold and sour with heartbreak, tears and ruin in the wake of it. Kindness depends on Kindness, like electricity depends on a generator. If the generator gets weak, the light gets low. If the generator breaks down, the lights go out. How low are some relationships? How darkened have many lives become? |
| Genuine love is God. Himself, shining through the face and life of His Son Jesus Christ, the light of the world! The Word of God says, “The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, which is given unto us” (Romans 5:5). This simply means that we were not born with this kind of love. It is impossible to have this kind love without having God’s Spirit in our hearts. It is also impossible to have the God kind love in our hearts without God’s life, which is in His Son Jesus Christ (John 1:4). Do you really want to experience genuine love? Do you want to “love-God” your wife, husband, children, friends, even your enemies? My dear friend, you can right now! Invite Jesus Christ to be your love life. Allow Him to enter your heart, now by His Holy Spirit. You will immediately experience the love of God. Your sins will be forgiven (all of them) and you will have the ability to love people like God loves them. If you have done this, and would like more help and teaching to make you a strong Christian; call us anytime, day or night.
