Since we are talking about Jesus, we will limit our definitions to the two main Greek words used for "love" in the New Testament. The first is philia. It refers to brotherly love or an intimate relationship with another person. Demonstrating this type of love does not require any substantial sacrifice on the part of the person you love. This love is demonstrated through a cordial attitude and the time dedicated to it. You can love anyone with philia, from a simple acquaintance to a close colleague. However, this type of love easily fades if the loved one moves away or is rarely found. Therefore, this is not the kind of love that would be appropriate for the kind of love that Jesus wants from his followers.

The other Greek word for "love" is agape. This is the love that is considered unconditional. This is the love that Paul describes in 1 Corinthians 13 and is the most appropriate for understanding what it means to love Jesus. Paul explains this type of love by what he does and what he does not do. According to 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, agape is patient, kind, rejoices in the truth, endures all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. On the contrary, agape does not envy, nor boasts, nor rejoices in evil; He is not arrogant, rude, selfish, irritable or resentful. And most importantly, agape does not end. It does not fade like philia. Agape is not based on circumstances and will never end.

Loving the Lord is following him wherever he wants him to take us, obeying him in everything he asks of us, and trusting him no matter the test. To love Jesus is to reflect the love that God has for us, because "this is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son" (1 John 4:10). To love the Lord is to care for those He loves (1 John 4:19; see also John 21:16).

Agape is not based on emotion, but on will. Each characteristic of agape is a deliberate choice to act in a certain way. Thus, when Jesus said, "If you love me, keep my commandments" (John 14:15), he was teaching that loving him would be a demonstrable action, not an emotional feeling. If you are to love Jesus as He commanded, then you must make a conscious choice to act according to the pattern described in 1 Corinthians 13. Jesus was clear that loving Him is a service (John 14:15, 21, 23, 28) and that disobedience is evidence of a lack of love (John 14:24). Therefore, to love Jesus is to voluntarily act in such a way that our devotion to Him is demonstrated through our actions toward Him and our obedience to Him.<end_of_turn><eos>
