Love, And The Importance Of Love To God

By definition; love is a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. Love can be interrupted in many ways. Were we ever taught love or is it just a natural feeling towards a person? Some say you'll know the meaning of love when you fall in love, yet some don't believe in love at all.

The meaning of theology is simple; it is the study of God and religious belief. The definition is plain to see but it’s important to go beyond what is already known. On a deeper level, what is the meaning of theology in respect to a religious community and to a person trying to find themselves in God? How is everyone involved in doing theology all the time? In this paper, there will be an in depth analysis on what theology is, why it is important, and how people are engaged in theology all the time.

Love is taken in many directions in the New Testament and Old Testament. The way God and Jesus Christ present this emotion throughout the bible, shows a better understanding of unconditional love to others. Love is one of the characteristics of God and an important part of His nature. Therefore, I will bring forth explanation of how well the word “Love” is used from translation to translation. My research will be coming out of the New Testament and Old Testament, even though there are many other books I could talk about for the word love.

Love is a force that inspires us to feel more, do more, and sometimes sacrifice for the object of our attention. Poems, music, relationships are all written in the name of love. There are six kinds of love, according to the ancient Greeks:

No emotion has such universal meaning as love. It is an integral part of the human condition. Love is the basis for by which all other emotions can be gauged. Friendship and even grief are steeped in love. Love is so central to our lives that it is fitting and proper that it should be the topic of so much discussion. Every culture and every writer has some commentary or evaluation of love. The New Testament has its share of love commentary. The entire basis of the Christian tradition is God's love for humanity. "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son." (John 3:6) Jesus preached a great deal about love of neighbor, love of God and even love of enemies. (Matt 5:44) Shakespeare's Biblical knowledge is well known and he

There are many things that go into theology. Such as certain documents like Apostles’ Creed or studying the Bible. How do we study the Bible or any theology? You can study theology by taking different approaches towards it. Historians say that the best approach to take an “historical approach”. This approach causes you to learn more about how religion worked back in the olden days. A way to make this approach more doable is breaking it down into different time frames or eras. While breaking it down into more eras also sort out what was significant

Just what is theology? This question can have a wide variety of answers, from irrelevant facts about God thought up by men centuries ago, to complicated theories discussed by scholars. Typically, the average 21st century man does not consider theology as relevant. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. Theology by definition has the characteristics of both expounding the truth, and impacting the believer with that truth (Himes, 2011). Therefore, theology and the church are intricately combined, in that the church embodies the revelation of God, and is reality, not theory (Himes, 2011). A personal practical theology must begin with revelation, not the individual (Himes, 2011), and proclaim

Christmas was just an hour away, and I found myself in the presence of family and friends. They all had their phones out, in attempt to capture the memory that was unfolding before them. Overwhelmed with such joy and passion, I presented my gift to my girlfriend, Victoria. The gift was a hand-crafted book. The book had a cardboard cover with the title “God’s Ordained Love.” The book was tied together with leather and contained burn edged pages, that were stained with coffee to make the book appear old.

What is theology? What does it explain if anything? According to the encyclopedia, it is related to the Greek Religion. In Christianity, the systematic study of the nature of God and God's relationship with humanity and with the world. Although other religions may be said to have theologies, this is a matter of controversy within, for instance, Judaism , which holds that God is unknowable. This article will therefore confine itself to Christian theology. The development of theology in Christendom arose from the need for educated Christians of the ancient world to express their ideas in terminology familiar in current thought. Hence arose the close relation of Christian theology with Greek philosophy formulated by the Greek and Latin

The Book of 1 John is a very important book because even thought it was written during the 90 A.D and the authorship of this book has not been discover. It has some meaningful information for the people during that time and is even relevant to the believers and unbeliever of today. The Book of 1 John has many themes displayed throughout this book even though it only has five chapters in the entire book. One of the major themes displayed in this book is love. 1 John 2:7-17 scriptures let us know that God’s greatest command and greatest gift to people is Love. He lets the people of this time that this is not a new commandment because it was required in the Old Testament and it remains in the New Testament. As a believer we must love everyone just as God love us. Another example of love being displayed in 1 John is 3:11-24 when God provided us with a clear example of his love by providing a bad example and a positive example of how love should be. From this example Blomberg mentioned that “We should expect the world to hate us as they hated Christ, but we should lay down our lives for one another if necessary. The next most powerful demonstration of the genuineness of our love comes when we share from the surplus of our material possessions to help those in need (Blomberg. 2006)”. Then lastly, 1 John 4:7-21 talks about love again, that when you love it should be divine and genuine. That love should be displayed in an emotion way but we should also show love to God by obeying

On the one hand, God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so through Him, the world might be saved (John 3:16, KJV). God demonstrated His love for the world through giving. Likewise, the reality of our love for God is proved through the use of our money. God has revealed in His Word all the essential knowledge that believers need to come into harmony with His ways in both spiritual and financial management. For one thing, the grace of God does not make giving optional, the Bible clearly outlines that it is the privilege and responsibility of every Christian, which sustains a direct individual responsibility to the Lord.

Everybody seems to believe that love is a good thing. However, not all agree on what love is. Is love that warm fuzzy feeling a person has when they are with a familiar person? According to the Bible, love is caring in action. Love is not what we feel, but what we do; however the object of love is not defined. (Bible Gateway, 2012) In this discussion I will describe what the nature of love is based on the idea of love as a verb, as something one

After a month of getting to know the mother of this family, she sits down close and concedes that what she was taught about Christianity doesn’t line up with how I live and act in relationship with her. She asks me to explain the gospel and the following is my response.

People tend to shy away from in-depth discussions of religion these days; it brings to mind heated dialogues and unanswered questions. In today’s diverse world, everyone has his or her own stance of what it means to be religious regarding each faith. John Caputo, the David R. Cook Professor of Philosophy at Villanova University, attempts to dispel any ill will towards the subject in his exploration On Religion Thinking in Action. Instead of defining religion so concretely, he explains that the concept is, “too uncontainably diverse for us to fit it all under one roof… too many to count, too many to master, in too many languages to learn” (Caputo 1). Later, he mentions, “the religious sense of life would never mean just one thing for everybody” (9). Instead of becoming bogged down in the differences and similarities of each religion, Caputo focuses on how religion guides people in living their lives.

There is much to read and understand about Love throughout the entire Bible. Jesus discuss and talks a lot about love. The greatest commandant is “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind and strength and then he said
