I. Definition:
A feeling in the heart that can not be depicted on a person with hopes of having, like happy and
do not want to separate. Josh Mc Dowell said: "Love as something that everyone expected. Without love man is not perfect. Loss of human love will become discouraged".
II. Other kinds of love:
1. True love: Love is making a positive impact in someone's life: he was worth, he's more passion in a career; encouraged to have a victorious future. True love always ends with happiness.
2. False love: Love is a negative impact in one's life, he did not advance, grow in sin (such as a trickster, a liar, adulterous love, lazy learning). False love always ends in ruin.
3. Captive heart: The love that bind a person, so nothing else to do but think and love. The end of love is usually disappointment.
III. Cause not get true love:
1. Ignorance about the true meaning of love: love as a lot of linking the momentary pleasure or sexual attraction is irresistible.
2. Unawareness of the responsibility in love: Love is not just "I was interested and I want to get it". But love is the "responsibility". The responsibility here requires maturity and a clear vision of life, what's after falling in love this. (That interest may not always be associated with falling in love).
3. Too fooled by the romance and sexual experience: Television and magazines and books describe as the experience of romantic love that leads to sexual experiences, ranging from mild such as hugs, kisses, and heavy like sex. But this is misleading because the romance and sex is not a binding marriage and love spices.
4. Do not connect in love with its creator: Many young people actually make love as something that should not be associated with spirituality. This is wrong. It is precisely people who love to pray properly if this is the will of God, or are just symptoms of attraction to the opposite sex as a consequence of the turmoil of youth.
IV. Basic things about love:
1. Maturity: Maturity is a necessary condition to fall in love. Falling in love with no maturity will bring us to the deception and destruction.
2. Responsibilities: The responsibility of carrying on the strong bonds of love, love without responsibility is just a game.
3. Willingness to sacrifice: Love without the readiness to make sacrifices just to be the will of coercion and subjugation.
4. Patience: Patience is important in love, without patience we will only be mocked by a sense of self, and ended in failure.
5. Loyalty: People who are ready to fall in love is one who realizes each person has a deficiency, but ... I got someone who fits with me the person that God prepared for me. Do not be easily moved around love.
V. How to get a true love:
1. Starting with a prayer.
2. Use common sense.
3. Let the process run time.
4. The principles of the Word of God must be firmly maintained.
5. Confront the problem and solve.
6. Please confirmation from someone more mature and of the Holy Spirit.
VI. Biblical view of love is true:
1. True love is only in Jesus Christ: Jn. 3:16: For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
2. Do not awaken love before its time. Song of Solomon 8:6-7: Set me like a seal on your heart, like a seal upon your arm, for love is as strong as death, persistent excitement as the world of the dead, flames are flames of fire, like the flame of God! Plenty of water can not quench love, rivers can not menghanyutkannya. Even if people gave all his possessions to love, but surely he would be insulted. Optional: Song of Solomon 2:7: Kusumpahi ye daughters of Jerusalem, for deer, antelope or deer for females in the field, do you awaken and mobilize love before diingininya!
3. People fall in love have to be careful. 2 Samuel 13:1-6: Then there are the following. David's son Absalom had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar, and Amnon the son of David fell in love with her. Amnon was, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin and still seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her. Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of David's brother Shimea. Jonadab was a very astute. He said to Amnon: "Son of the king, why are you so miserable every morning? Would not it be better if you tell me?" Kepdanya Amnon said: I'm in love with Tamar, Absalom's sister, my brother ". And Jonadab said to him:" Lie down on your bed and do malinger. If your father comes to see thee, that thou shalt say to him: Let my sister Tamar come give me a meal. If it provides food in front of my eyes, so I can see it, then I'll eat from her hand. "Then Amnon lay down and pretended to be sick to do. When the king came to visit him, Amnon said to the king:" Let my sister Tamar come, and make two cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand ".
4. Love must be firm. John 2:17: And his disciples remembered that it was written: "Zeal for your house to scorching me".
5. Love is responsibility. John 21:15: After breakfast Jesus said to Simon Peter: "Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?" Peter said to Him: "Yes, Lord, thou knowest that I love You". Jesus said to him: "Feed my sheep".
VII. How to fall in love with right?
1. Realize God wants us to fall in love; only:
a. At the right moment.
b. With the right person.
c. With the proper way.
2. Communicate with God every time the feeling of falling in love appears: "If this is from God let it remain firm, but if not then let it be of God".
3. Consider the principle of God's word:
a. 2 Corinthians 6:14: Darkness can not be united with the light. This means that believers should be with people and commensurate.
b. 1 Corinthians 10:23: Have to build up one another in terms of life. Not merely should or should not.
c. Genesis 2:18: To be commensurate. This means that according to the will of God. The will of God that is able to cover each other deficiencies / weaknesses of our partners. Not demeaning each other and dropping.
4. Remember, love does not necessarily mean love.
5. True love can be controlled; that can not be controlled is carnality.
