Scriptures used: 1 John 4:7-12, 16-21; Proverbs 17:17, 27:17; Matthew 5:43-46, 22:36-39; 1 John 2:15; 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, 13

There are different levels of love. We may use one word but love has different levels of depth.
Original biblical language has 4 different words for love with 4 different meanings that show the different levels of depth.
Eros love is a romantic love. This is not to be confused with lust. This is a committed and passionate love shared between husband and wife.
Storge love is a family love. It's an empathy bond that you see between parents and children. The church body shares this love with one another because we are the family of God.
Philia love is a friendship love. It's a rare and valuable love that comes from a unique bond and and connection with one another.
Agape love is an unconditional love. This is the highest form of love demonstrated by Christ. Agape is a selfless love that loves regardless of circumstances.

Reflect or meet with someone to discuss:

Why do you think we have such a hard time explaining and expressing our love?
How does seeing the different levels of love expressed from the Greek help you think about love differently?
How can you get to a level of agape love that you are able to express with others?
