James 1:14-15

But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

In this world we have nothing but a lot of violence, hurting, pain…all due to the lack of love. If you’ll recall from a previous teaching, it is also due to PMS (Power, Money, Sex). There are a lot of loveless people today. People aren’t concerned about their fellow man. Everyone is looking for something to believe in and count on; someone or something to depend upon. Thats why we get married, build friendships, get jobs, and get involved with people. We don’t want to be alone.

Galatians 5:19-21

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

At the top of the list, you’ll notice that adultery and fornication are mentioned first. This is a strong hold that Satan has over most people today. We use the act of fornicating as a expression of love, when it is just a temporary emotional high, the same effect as drugs. When we attach our love to this type of act,  we get emotionally attached to who ever is providing that act, and look at that person as someone they are really in love with, when that person is only a one night stand of lust. It was just a moment of sexual and emotional pleasure that was enjoyed between two people, and not a permanent situation. That is were we go wrong. We think the act of sexual intercourse or you giving your body to that person means they owe you their commitment. God designed us to be into a single not multiple partner committed relationship that is between a man and a woman under marriage for life. Uncleanliness is a big cause of diseases in this world today, this is why everybody needs to practice good hygiene. Lasciviousness indicates a strong lustful interest that will lead to fornication and adultery. Adultery can also be committed against God, by whoring after other gods. The Father only asks one thing of you: that you have a pure unadulterated love for Him, with no strings attached.

God does not want us to have things in our lives that will cause separation from Him. As long as we are Children of God, then the desires that we have should please Him first, before it pleases us. Satan will come after you with the desire you want, and even though you may try not to given in, you usually will fall for it. He’ll come at you with something he knows will destroy you.

Proverbs 14:12

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Because of the misinterpreted and misdirected love in this world, the real meaning of love has been lost in so many people. The reason why relationships fail is due to the lack of understanding of what love is, and how love is used. The dictionary has a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes that range from interpersonal affection to pleasure to define the word love. It can refer to an emotion of a strong attraction and personal attachment. In the Bible, love is the high esteem that God has for His creation and in turn is what the creation should have for Him.

God is love as the bible declares:

1 John 4:8-21
(Verese 8) He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is Love.

1 John 4:9-12,18
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

In Greek, the word love has two distinct meanings.  “To love” the first “phileo” means “to have (ardent) enthusiastic or passionate affection and feeling” – a type of impulsive love. The other is agapao means “to esteem or have high regard.” The word love is used 3 different way in the Bible:
1) Indicates the nature of the love of God toward his Son (John 17:26).
2) Love conveys God’s will to His children and how they are to be toward each other (John 13:34, 35).
3) Love that expresses the essential nature of God (John 4:8).

In conclusion, take this scripture in the book of  Matthew 11:28-30:
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart:and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
