28 Days (Feb) of God's Love: Day 1st

Welcome back my fellow sisters and brothers in Christ.
A new month brings a new theme to the blog.  And as it's February, what better theme to talk about than....LOVE!

WHAT IS LOVE?
There are many different kinds of Love.  Three types are used throughout the New Testament.  
The Greeks have a name for each:
  • Eros - Sexual Love
  • Philia- Friendly Love
  • Philaruria- Love of Money
  • Agape- Unconditional Love 
The love Paul writes about he is talking of "Agape"

Verse:
One of the scribes came near and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he asked:
"Which commandment is the first of all?"
Jesus answered:
"The first is -You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.  The  second is this -  love your neighbor as yourself.  There is NO other commandment greater than these."
Mark 12:28-31
