Greater Love: Eros Love
Love is talked about a lot in the Bible—which makes sense, since Christianity is a faith of love and God is a God of love! The ancient world had many words for different kinds of love, several which are spoken about in the Bible. For Christians, there are a few significant types of love that appear in the Bible: Philia (deep friendship), Eros (romantic), and Agape (self sacrificial love).

Give to Alpine Church
COVID-19 has created an unprecedented challenge to our society. More than ever, God’s people are needed to bring hope and mercy to our world. Your generosity allows us to meet the spiritual and practical needs of people through Alpine Cares. Please consider giving today.
https://alpinechurch.org/giveBIG IDEA: Eros was a form of love so distorted by Greek culture that the New Testament authors refused to use the word. But the concept is still God’s, and there’s an entire book in the Bible to prove it.
Eros love is physical intimacy experienced between a husband and wife in marriage. It’s a gift from God.
Eros intensifies with selflessness (agape love) and is diminished by selfishness. Eros love takes work.
Today’s culture has a distorted view of Eros. God’s message is to “not awaken love until the time is right.”
I invite you to pray a simple prayer like this: “Lord God I recognize that you are the lamb that takes away the sins of the world. I recognize that I am a sinner, I’m broken and I am in need of You - Your forgiveness; Your Salvation. And I ask to receive Your free gift of new life in Christ. I hereby entrust my life to You.”
Join a Small Group
Life isn't meant to be lived alone. Small groups are a great place to get connected with others. Small groups meet in groups of four or more at a home, coffee shop, online, or at the church to discuss how the Bible speaks to everyday life.
