Repost from @gotquestionsministries • What does the Bible say about love? ⠀ The Bible has a great deal to say about love. In fact, the Bible says that “love is of God” and “God is love” (1 John 4:7–8); in other words, love is a fundamental characteristic of who God is. Everything God does is impelled and influenced by His love.⠀ ⠀ The Bible uses several different words for “love” in the Hebrew and Greek, interchanging them depending on context. Some of these words mean “affectionate love”; others indicate “friendship”; and still others, “erotic, sexual love.” There is also a distinct word for the type of love that God displays. In the Greek, this word is agape, and it refers to a benevolent and charitable love that seeks the best for the loved one.⠀ ⠀ Read the entire article by tapping on the link in our profile or go here: https://www.gotquestions.org/Bible-love.html #loveintheBible https://www.instagram.com/p/CLPpKZinnjf/?igshid=uvc8du3n1rdz
