THE HOLY SPIRIT & YOU PART 8 — THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT PART 4 — LOVE part 3
The fruit of the Spirit is LOVE. Our walk with God must be anchored in love because even salvation itself is a byproduct of love.
Two Pillars of Revelators in the NT are Apostle Paul and John the beloved based on the quantity of truth they shared.
• Paul → Known for Salvation, Grace, and Faith — 13 books
• John → Known for Love and Truth — 5 books
Even Paul stopped in 1 Corinthians to teach on love, showing that love is the bedrock of salvation.
The 4 Types of Love:
1. EROS — Romantic Love
Song of Solomon 1:2
Based on beauty, desire, and emotion. Love between husband and wife.
When beauty and desire fade, this love dies.
1. PHILEO — Friendship & Loyalty Love
John 15:13, John 11:3, Romans 12:10, Proverbs 17:17
Brotherly affection. Built on kindness, gifts, shared circumstances — school, work, neighborhood.
It changes with circumstances and distance.
1. STORGE — Family & Covenant Love
Romans 1:31
Natural bond from blood or covenant. You love family even without getting anything back.
In church we often love by storge because of our shared faith.
It stops when the covenant or faith is broken. Not enough on its own.
1. AGAPE — God’s Love
Will + Sacrifice
Love beyond covenant, built on something supernatural.
This is the love of God — unconditional, sacrificial, and the standard for believers.
Therefore, Eros, Phileo, and Storge are human loves that depend on conditions.
Agape is Spirit-produced love. That’s the fruit which the Spirit of God who lives in us produce.
