Love for a classmate, or a friend
You share common interest(s) with the other
Share common goals There is no emotional
closeness Greeks called this love.
+2. INTIMATE LOVE (EROS)
Love in the sexual sense is a passionate love, pleasurable, spontaneous and instinctive.
It is the epitome of all emotions towards someone – involving physical, spiritual and emotional.
+3. FAMILY LOVE (STORGE)
A bond between children and parents.
This emotion comes from within, it is not earned.
Example: God’s love for us (he
gave us Jesus who suffered and died for our sins)
+4. FRIENDSHIP (PHILIA)
• Warm and tender affection felt between two friends
• It is mutual and supportive.
Example:• Jesus had a strong friendship
with Lazarus. The shortest sentence ever: “He Wept”.
+5. CHARITY (AGAPE)
An unconditional love – doing something without expecting anything in return.
Agape does not mean you have to like the person nor know the person – it is a gesture and offer of help.
Example: Jesus said, “love one another
as I have loved you.” (John 13:34)
