Question
Can you show me stories in the bible that can best explain eros, phileo, and agape love (preferably 3 or more stories focusing on each part separately)?  

I'm trying to work on a bible study on love but I'm having trouble getting my thoughts together.  Thanks!

God Bless!

Answer
Hi Daniel,

How about these?

EROS - Samson & Delilah, Solomon and his wife (Song of Solomon), David & Bathsheba

PHILEO - David & Jonathan, Jesus and the Apostle John, Jesus and Mary, Martha, and Lazarus

AGAPE - Hosea & Gomer, Early Believers in Jerusalem (Acts 2:42-47), Jesus & Mankind

Expertise

I have studied the Bible and Bible-related topics since the time I was very young. My education includes a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Bible, and a Master of Divinity degree. I enjoy delving into deep theological issues and always enjoy a healthy debate. But more importantly, I like working with people and helping them to find the answers that they are looking for. And I am convinced that these answers are available in the Bible.

Experience

By the grace and mercy of God, I have been saved, born again, adopted into the family of God. God has given me a love for the Bible, and for Bible-related subjects. In addition, He has blessed me with ongoing training in the Scriptures, from my youth on up. The more I learn about God through His Word, the more I want to share!
