Love, Divine, Biblical Counseling

When we want to know what true love is, we have to look to God. "But God demonstrates His love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" Romans 5:8. And Jesus said, "greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life" John 15:13. So, true love is a sacrificial giving type of love. It loves beyond one's faults. It sees potential in another and loves them in spite of their sinful nature. Jesus added a new deeper depth to love. He said, "if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them...but love your enemies, do good and lend, hoping for nothing in return" Luke 6:32-35.
