What is love ?
According to Merriam Webster online dictionary, "love is an intense feeling of strong or constant affection for a person". It's an unselfish loyal benevolent concern for the good of another. The Hebrew word commonly use for love in the OT ( OLD TESTAMENT) is "AAHEB" which could mean affection, strong liking, benevolent romantic or sexual love. ( deut 4:37, 10:15).
In the NT (NEW TESTAMENT), several Greek words are translated as love with specific meaning, Agapao(verb) and Agape(noun) -means affection, benevolence, goodwill, high esteem and concern for the one loved. It's deliberate, purposeful love rather than emotional or impulsive love, Phileo (verb) -means to love in an impulsive and emotional way. It's seldom used in the Bible (Jn 21:15-27).
