What Does Love Look Like?



I spent several posts over at http://gordon-feil-theology.blogspot.ca/ explaining why I believe there exists an all-knowing personification of Love who is personally interested in us and who communicates with us through the Bible as his written word, and the reason is because this post would be meaningless without that. 

I can describe love as seeking the ultimate good of the one being loved, and we have said that this occurs through an attitude of caring, knowing, respecting and taking responsibility for that one.  I also said that this love depends not at all upon the beloved, for it is unconditional. 

God goes further than this.  He tells us what we will and will not be doing if we are loving.  He gives us a mirror which we can use to examine ourselves.  It is what in Hebrew, the language in which it was first written, is called the Torah. It’s a word translated into English as law, but is better translated as teaching. This topic is explored at http://gordon-feil-theology.blogspot.ca/2017/05/what-love-looks-like.html.
