A Better Way of Loving
This is sermon 6 from Fireproofing your Relationships. The text is Luke 5:1-26. The bible states that there are 3 types of love. They are EROS, PHILEOS, and AGAPE.
Eros is a sensual love. It says, “What can I get out of this?”
Phileos is relational love. It says “What can we get out of this?”
Agape is unconditional love. It says “What can you get out of this?”
Jesus always used Agape love which every Christian should do as well.
1. Better love thinks about others more than self.
2. Better love makes the first move. Jesus loved us before we loved Him.
3. Better love takes risks.
4. Better love goes the last 10%. Loving like God means that we do not give up. We love people no matter how far they go. We love them anyway.
Conclusion: Remember that better love thinks about others more than self. This week your challenge is to love your mate in a way that is not self-seeking. Focus on your spouse before yourself. If we learn to love like Christ, we will have a better marriage. God bless.
