In the Greek, this word is agape, and it refers to a benevolent and charitable love that seeks the best for the loved one. Some of these words mean “affectionate love” others indicate “friendship” and still others, “erotic, sexual love.” There is also a distinct word for the type of love that God displays. The Bible uses several different words for “love” in the Hebrew and Greek, interchanging them depending on context.
Everything God does is impelled and influenced by His love. In fact, the Bible says that “love is of God” and “God is love” (1 John 4:7–8) in other words, love is a fundamental characteristic of who God is. The Bible has a great deal to say about love.
