Charity - By Eunike Tubulau. M.Th

Introducing: Many Christians talk about love, even from the pulpit was Rev communicate the word of love with extraordinary packaging, with the help of technology and multimedia applications, but rarely apply that love in daily life - days. love is not a souvenir, but more than that is a form of declaration of affection dai a Father to us. Christ himself is a perfect example of that love, he is love, teaching about love and then give examples of real applications with love by giving his life for You .. (John 3: 16)
Main Idea: I Corinthians 13: 1-13 (Εαν ταις γλωσσαις των ἀνθρωπων λαλω και των ἀγγελων, ἀγαπην δε μη ἔχω, γεγονα χαλκος ἠχων ἢ κυμβαλον ἀλαλαζον - Even if I could have told all human language and the language of angels, but if I do not have love, I am equal to the resounding gong and a clanging cymbal.)
Definition of Love: sebernarnya love is different with love - because if love is more to things - things that are of interest as the opposite sex
There is some sense of love according to the Greek language as follows: 1. Agape - aggapao - agapate - Love is not demanding Reply just give and give 2. Eros - I love you because she wants to own you - may be to the personal (private / opposite sex) and to objects 3. Storge - ties of blood kinship, for example a grandfather loves her grandchildren because her son was the child of 4. Philia - love of fellow human beings

On one occasion in his ministry with the disciples, Jesus asked in kesmpatan just alone with Peter in a simple language like this, "Peter, you is not it the same agape me" Petru said Lord I can not I just can Phillia agape. Peter lived a few years with Jesus, but it's not easy for him to say to the Lord my God agape, then we think it's stupid how come petrus usually say such things to the Lord Jesus, my brother Peter to use logic to answer, is not easy right? but Jesus knew what Peter was saying. Bible history proves once anointed at Pentecost event and until his death kahirnya he loves the Lord Jesus. There are 3 points that we learn that:
1. Verse 13: - Agape God judges us from the love of him - not because it philia whatever brother and I do whether it be good, good, and so forth but if there is no love is not aa mean, people in the world of work is often measured a work of quality, but Jesus judge us from our love for Him (verses - 1 -3) it is a picture of the world's achievements but do not have confirmation of the Bible says love means zero, nothing ass. 2. Love is the characters - depending on our introduction to God, so we need to assess ourselves, do not judge anyone, let us judge ourselves is the love that we have and mengaplikasikannnya in every area of ​​our lives. Love is the characters, love is patient - patience is a character, etc.. Example Peter had a lesson for us not just another talking but in fact apply that love in our daily life. 3. That love is eternal - paragraph 8 is not interminable, because it lets pursue love, make love, and do you, because only love is eternal until in heaven (verse 13).
Therefore let us learn to love a human being does not mean that hard but can not because the Holy Spirit will enable us to do so, amen
