What is love? Philosophers, poets, theologians, novelists, politicians and more have considered this question. Is it a passion that attacks? Is it a disease? Is it an unmasking agent? Is it a quiet force or a raging fire? Does it somehow involve giving? To accurately answer the question “what is love?” we need to go to the origin of love. The Bible tells us that love originates in God. In fact, it goes one step further by asserting that God is love.

 

Four unique forms of love are found in Scripture. They are communicated through four Greek words (Storge, Philia, Eros, and Agape) and are characterized by family love, brotherly love, romantic love, and God's divine love.

Scriptures referenced include 1 John 4:16; 1 Corinthians 13; John 14:31; John 3:16; John 1:12; and 1 John 3:1, 23-24.
