It is said that there are over 100 million love songs that have been recorded. The ancient Greeks observed eight different kinds of love. Psychology notes there are four types of love. One theorist defined three levels of love. There are love languages. Neuroscience reveals thirteen ways to know you’ve found love. There are lists of top 100/50/10 greatest love songs of all time including the most famous love song. We have holidays dedicated to love, poems of love, and artistic masterpieces painted about love. All of these ‘loves’ defined by man, science, arts, and history try to define ‘the real love’…while Jesus shows us that there is only ONE Love.

Love is the nature of the eternal spirit that is constant and unfailing. Love is exempt from feelings, emotions, and desires. Love exists independently of and unaffected by human activities. It is the character and the quality of the unchangeable divine nature of God that is our inheritance. Eternal love transcends all natural affection. That love is being perfected and will manifest in and through you so that this love will not be based on personal needs, desires, or prejudice. For a time, two natures reside within us, and it takes a faithful endeavor to become Christ-like that continually strips away the old nature and develops our own divine nature. This is the land that was promised and it includes all the benefits, and the blessings that we have heard about and longed for.
