- I love you but not in love with you, as many married people will say one to the other, and even persons courting.
- I have to look out for my self and think only about me, if every one in the world truly do this what an extremely dark place it will be, even though at present it is dark.
- Regardless of what people say or think I am going to do my own thing, even though I know it may be wrong, I doing it any way.
- I do not feel to go and fellowship any set of people.
- My blood does not take him or her.
And the list for the above can go on and on, however when the Spirit of God transform the mind he also works on the emotion to make the emotion holy and guided by principles embedded in the word of God.
This is what the bible calls the renewing of the mind, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God". Romans 12:2.
And the law of the Spirit of life will remove the law of sin and death so we will no longer love based on emotion and fitting into a bracket but we will love base upon the principles of the word of God, decisions whether popular or not, liked or disliked will be made based upon principles of the word because the Spirit of God is in control.
Friendships and association will be upon principles which is the word of God and the emotions will not be easily swayed because it is governed by the law of the spirit of life which is in Christ Jesus.
Because God is love and our emotions are now governed by him the emotions which permeates from the love of God in us will be also Godly and Holy, and because of this we will love one another.
And so Hebrews 10:22-25 will take effect in our lives.
1 John 3:14-15 will take effect.
1 John 4:7-13 will take effect.
Acts 17:26, Galatians 3:28, will take effect and be understood.
Love is humility, Patience, Kindness, temperance, Envies not, is not Puffed up, Sufferer's long, does not behave Unseemly, not Easily Provoked, Thinks no evil, Rejoice not in iniquity, Rejoices in the truth, Beareth all things, Believes all things, Hopes all things, Endures all things.
Love never fails, Love never ceases, Love never vanishes away.
Love my friend is selfless, which means it is never self seeking.
