THE MEANINGS OF LOVE IN THE BIBLE

Love, in the Bible, as in our everyday usage,

can be directed from person to person or from a

person to things. When directed toward things,

love means enjoying or taking pleasure in those

things. Love towards persons is more complex.

As with things, loving persons may mean simply

enjoying them and taking pleasure in their

personalities, looks, achievements, etc. But there

is another aspect of interpersonal love that is veryimportant in the Bible. There is the aspect of love

for persons who are not attractive or virtuous or

productive. In this case, love is not a delight in

what a person is, but a deeply felt commitment

to helping him be what he ought to be. As we will

see, the love for things and both dimensions of

the love for persons are richly illustrated in the

Bible.

As we examine the Old Testament and the

New Testament in turn, our focus will be on Gods

love, then on mans love for God, mans love for

man and mans love for things.Love in the Old Testament

Jesus said that the greatest commandment

in the Old Testament was, You shall love the

Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind

(Matthew 22:36ff; Deuteronomy 6:5). The

second commandment was, Love your neighbor

as yourself (Matthew 22;39;Leviticus 18:19).

Then he said, On these two commandments

hang all the law and prophets (Matthew

22:40). This must mean that if a person

understood and obeyed these two

commandments, he would understand and fulfillwhat the whole Old Testament was trying to

teach. Everything in the Old Testament, when

properly understood, aims basically to transform

men and women into people who fervently love

God and their neighbor.

Gods Love

You can tell what a person loves by what he

devotes himself to most passionately. What a

person values most is reflected in his actions

and motivations. It is plain in the Old Testament

that Gods highest value, his greatest love, is his

own name. From the beginning of Israels history

to the end of the Old Testament era God was

moved by this great love. He says through Isaiah

that he created Israel for his glory (Isaiah

43:7): You are my servant Israel in whom I willbe glorified (Isaiah 49:3).

Thus when God delivered Israel from bondage

in Egypt and preserved them in the wilderness it

was because he was acting for his own names

sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight

of the nations (Ezekiel 20:9.14, 22;cf Exodus

14:4). And when God drove out the other nations

from the Promised Land of Canaan, he was

making himself a name (2 Samuel7:23). Then

finally at the end of the Old Testament era, after

Israel had been taken into captivity in Babylon,

God plans to have mercy and save his people.He says, For my names sake I defer my anger,

for the sake of my praise I restrain it for you...For

my own sake, for my own sake, I do it, for how

should my name be profaned? My glory I will

not give to another (Isaiah 48:9,11 cf. Ezekiel

36:22, 23. 32). From these texts we can see

how much God loves his own glory and how

deeply committed he is to preserving the honor

of his name.

This is not evil of God. On the contrary, his

very righteousness depends on his maintaining

a full allegiance to the infinite value of his glory.This is seen in the parallel phrases ofPsalm

143:11, For thy names sake, O Lord, preserve

my life! In thy righteousness, bring me out of

trouble. God would cease to be righteous if he

ceased to love his own glory on which his people

bank all their hope.
