Show Notes

The love described by the Greek word storge is best understood as family love. It's the bond that naturally forms between parents and their children -- and sometimes between siblings in the same household. This kind of love tends to be steady and sure; it is conferred quickly and easily and usually endures, despite moments of conflict and even possible estrangement. We see this love reflected in Mary and Martha’s love for their brother Lazarus, Jairus’ concern for his sick daughter, and even the apostle Paul’s affection for the slave, Onesimus. 

 

Scriptures referenced include Philemon 1:8-10; Acts 2:44-47; 2 Timothy 3:1, 3; John 13:34; Colossians 3:13; Luke 23:34; 1 Corinthians 13:4-5; Romans 15:7; Romans 12:10; Philippians 2:3-5; and 1 John 4:7.
