Greek words for Love:

agape: love that promotes overall well-being when confronted by that which generates evil-feeling (i.e., Christ-like love, returning good for evil; unconditional and perfect)

Stated another way -- Practicing Christianity in enemy-occupied territory, where resentment is natural and incitement to action is frequent.

eros: love that promotes overall well-being by affirming the valuable or beautiful pleasures (i.e., romantic)

philia: love that promotes overall well-being when cooperating with others (i.e., brotherly friendship)

because He first loved me.

A Sermon
on Christian Love,
by Martin Luther,
from I Cor. 13:1-13

"If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing. Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil; rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known. But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love."

I Corinthians 13:1-13 KJV

God is Love:

God is love."
1 John 4:8

"We have come to know
and to believe
in the love God has for us. God is love, and
whoever remains in love remains in God
and God in him."
1 John 4:16
