Five Levels of Love -
Why do people do what they do? How can I understand why I do what I do?
We know God has given us the ability to reason and to make choices; but those choices are dictated by a power bigger than we. How can we understand what this power is, and how can we learn to control it? We live in zones of love. Jesus said we are to love the Lord God with all our heart, and then love our neighbor as ourselves, in that order. These are the great commandments! If we do these two effectively, all will be well! How can obeying these two commands fix all our problems with man and God? I believe as you read this book you will see how God teaches us about five love levels that are the most powerful sources of influence in our lives, dictating our every move!
- Level one - self love
- Level two - family love
- Level three - love of missions
- Level four - love for our enemies
- Level five - love for God
- John 14:23 "...If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him and make our abode with him."
- John 21:15 "...Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me, more than these?"
- What does it all mean? How does this translate to life?
- The answer to man's problems is one basic truth: love God at level five and everything else will fall into place. All through the word of God we see examples of these levels, and how our dwelling in one or another of these love zones (or levels) dictates our every action.
- May this material give you answers to life's questions! Remember, love is the motivator of every aspect of life!
