Jesus Describes Two “Loves”
“Simon, do you (agapeo) Me?”“Yes, You know that I (phileo) You”
Philos – Brotherly loveAgape – Love of will and choice
Peter’s Love
Moved with all his heartBUT
Moved away when emotions changedJohn 18:24-25
Peter believed PHILIEOS was his best
The Two Loves: The World and God
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not of the Father but is of the world.
1 John 2:15-16
The Love of the World
Phileos is the World’s Love
It is based on what we receiveWe love what makes US feel goodWe love for the return it provides
The Love of the World
Phileos is the World’s Love“falling in love”“the heart wants what the heart
wants”The danger of Phileos
Ephesians 5:22-33
We Aspire to Godly Love
Agapeo is the hardest love to knowIt comes only by maturity – II Peter
1:5It is disrespected – II Corinthians
12:15It is HARD! – I Corinthians 5:3
Perfecting Ourselves in Christ
Speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ Ephesians 4:15
"Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect”
Matthew 5:48
