Loving right, No! Right

If you were to be born in the Iron Age, when The Roman Empire ruled the world. The word “I love you” would have been the easiest and clearest question to have answered.

Why? because they had about 4 types and meaning of the word Love.🙂 so there won’t have been any long talking in putting forth what you meant .

When a man said “I love you” to a woman: response from the woman was more of a direct question;

– Woman: what do you mean by saying you love me, is it that you Agape me? or you Philia me?, or it’s Storge?, oh I get you Eros? You bad man😂

How ironic 😅. The meaning of Agape is Unconditional love, which is of God alone, Storge; empathy bond, Philia; brotherly or friendly love and Eros; romantic love.

English on the other hand in this age, have an unlimited meaning to the word but no type: So generally, no one gets to know what one is actually about when they say that🤔.

Example: A man obsessed by cars, sees a nice model and says; “I love this car!”, gets a woman and profess his love to her. They move into their home but he spends more time in his car than his home and keeps saying he loves her but does more for his car than wife😓. Ei Awurade!😟 Where is his Love at actually?

The RIGHT love can’t be defined apart from its source – God, for scripture says, “God is Love” ( 1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. )

Love can’t be understood and given, if this primary step is missed. You first have to know the nature of the RIGHT love, God. How did God earn this title?

Aside He being the originator of all things, he demonstrated it ultimately by giving us His Son Jesus John 3:16 KJVS

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

, again by being PATIENT with the Jews, being KIND in providing for them, not KEEPING A RECORD OF WRONG when they admitted it etc…, in a nutshell we can see all the display of love in 1 Corinth 13 or Galatians 5: 22 in God.

Then in the same verse in 1 John 4: 7-8, it talks about how we ought to respond- “He that loveth”, which is as a result of knowledge and understanding in the Love- God.

That “loveth” or loves talk about accommodating, entertaining, welcoming someone just as God but this is a little off and away from what we usually do, which is lead by our present state of feeling.

To love RIGHT and not right ( as modernization teaches ), we have to obey the principle the originator sets:- “ obeying his commandments”.

1 John 5:3 “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous”.

To sum it up, Agape love, which is the unconditional approach to loving like God Himself, is the premise in which any other love known can fit in. Whether; Eros,Storge, Philia or our contemporary unlimited meaning to love.

His love ( Agape ), sandwiches all other forms of love listed, like a burger 🍔 bread which you can’t do without, with the right assembling of layers of cheese, ham, onion, pickled cucumber and tomato 😋, delicious. 😂 return to earth you earthlian🤣— without Agape any other love is just a ticking bomb waiting to explode 💥

Your real test of love, is not just in how you respond to the man you see but in obedience, which is first and foremost, to God be what he has written. He says “if you love me, you will keep my commandments” and that’s the fundamental catalyst in love.

Will you love ( obey his commands ) God?

When your obedience is complete in God, the embodiment of Love, your Loving will be as fluid as water.

– “For if You Love God first by Obeying Him, You love man best through your understanding in the Greater, God— Oncle Moë AD2020

And that’s simply loving RIGHT.

“ and if you are living with a broken heart today, because of a broken love, you probably have that love broken because somebody didn’t hang his / her love on the eternal love of God Himself” — Ravi Zacharias
