Love101: The Theology of Love

People do not realize one of the missions of the church. Instead, they choose to judge as opposed to express love.

Who are we to condemn people? We are supposed to be the light of God in this world, not to act as God.

This trend is happening more and more with Christians of this modern world. Not saying that everyone is like that, it just seems to be an increasingly active issue within the church community. People never want to tell their Christian friends anything because they are afraid of the Christian judgment... do you realize how unbelievably twisted that is?

This is a topic I am really passionate about because it happens so much in our world. Its like our generation is looking at overly conservative elders only to forget the theology behind the elder’s wisdom and still judge people. What is even more screwed up about this, is that most people will take more offense to the last sentence then the real issue at hand.

God calls us to love everyone with "agape" love, the very same way that Jesus loved us. We are to be unconditional and even self-sacrificing with our love. By having absolute love in Jesus stored within our heart, we are called to love everyone! It appears almost cliche but evidently not clear enough, that in John, we are called to LOVE as God has loved us (13:34).
