“WINNING
WALK”
WITH
DR ED YOUNG
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while
we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
Romans 5:8
When we were at our worst, God gave us His best. All forms
of human love have some measure of self interest attached. The Greek New
Testament language provides us understanding of the nuances of love. Eros-love
brings the mutual satisfaction of physical love. Phileo-love
enables people to share friendship affections. To describe God’s love, the Holy
Spirit inspired the human Bible writers to use a term rarely employed by the
Greeks—Agape, unconditional love. Nothing displays this word like Jesus
dying for us on the cross while we were still in rebellion.
