Phileo
What is love? Is it the romantic feelings between a boyfriend and girlfriend? Is it the affection between siblings? Is it the deep care between a parent and child? You’d probably say it’s all of the above. So how come we use one word to describe so many different feelings and relationships?
In the Greek language, there are eight different words to describe love! We’re taking a look at four of them, and the first is Phileo. Phileo describes the love between two friends – love that’s encouraging and kind and wants the best for the other person. It’s also described as “brotherly love.” (It’s where the city of Philadelphia gets its name!)
The Bible tells us about Phileo love in 1 John 3:16: “We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we should also give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.” Who are the friends in your life that show you Phileo love, who you know would make sacrifices for your sake? Who can you think of that you would do the same for?
關於此計劃
We experience love in all kinds of ways! We may encounter romantic love with a boyfriend or girlfriend, but what about the love we share with our friends? It’s also different from the love we have for our siblings or parents. How can one word express such a broad range of emotions? It can’t. In this Bible Reading Plan, we’ll look at 4 words from the Greek language that represent different types of love and how the Bible encourages us to express it.
