When we embrace, enjoin, maybe the best word is 'embody,' ourselves in God's Love, it is a Love that overwhelms our soul in goodness and being born again, as God calls us all to be, rekindles that desire to live life to the fullest in Love. Putting God first in all walks of our life indubitably makes us Love.
Love is most important, literally, more so than any other single great thing(s)one does in his/hers Christly walk...
Faith , hope, and, love are all great things, I paraphrase, but the greatest , Jesus, I think it is who say, the greatest of which is love. And the 'love' word is not capitalized but does't need to be if you are a christian. Right.
What's that song, and, I know I want this in summer camp: They will know we are Christians by our love.

Let's add the importance of NOT lusting after someone. And,lusting means 'what?' should be interpreted , defined, too.
Lust is SINNING in your heart, the very idea of seeing someone , or, even chatting with them online and wanting to take a 'course' of sin together. The Lord leads, each of our lives are personal relationships with God, for us to follow Jesus' ways set for all to see when he was on Earth, and, to call (often) on the Holy Spirit (termed 'helper' in scripture') for guidance and protection and to embolden us to be like Jesus in witness and words, using the Word
Matthew 5:28 says it all . It's not easy, and, I am speaking from guy perspective ye who iseth us and whoeth, polls show, think about the THREE letter word every 7 seconds. God made us all, God be with us all, and, God bless us all for handling that 'fact' accountably.

It's a challenge to understand what is happening from within. There is an Old Testament writing that expresses who we are definitively, using the one thing we trust most about ourselves. "The things that seem right to a man, leads him to his owe destruction." For months this bothered me. I asked our Father in heaven, why do You make people to do the things that seem right to them, and it leads to their own destruction?"
Then I was shown Adam and Eve, and how they chose to do the things which seemed right to them. What is hidden in this language is Satan's deception.
Its out of Peter's love for Jesus, that he attempted to stop what needed to take place against Jesus. Jesus immediately let us know that was hidden in Peter's love for Him when He said, "Satan get behind Me! For you are mindful of the things of men!" I paraphrased this to reveal what happens when we place our trust in the things which seem right to us.
In the Book of John, Jesus, began a process which needed to take place so that he could see what was hidden from him. At the end of that series of trials, Jesus asked Peter, Do you love Me more than these? In Peter's natural way of thinking, he said, Yes Lord, You know I love You. Then again Jesus asked, Do you love Me? Peter not understanding, said again, Yes Lord, You now I love You. At this very point Jesus led Peter to, Jesus asked Peter again, Do you love Me? At that very moment Peter saw that the one thing he trusted most about himself, is the very thing that Satan used to cause Peter to deny Jesus because Peter loved his religion (people of the temple) more than Jesus. Peter then said, Lord You Know All Things, You know I love You. Throughout the path Peter walked with Jesus, he did according to the things which seemed right to him; and here's the kicker, this is sin which is not known until it is revealed. Jesus said, (paraphrasing) Before you clothed yourself in the security of things which seemed right to you and went where ever you wished. But now that you are older in wisdom, another will clothe you in the security of My knowledge, and take you where you do not wish to go."
You are absolutely correct to say that to interpret our concept of love is flawed. But to deny a person to grow to understand this on a personal plain with Jesus, is not a good thing, It is something to consider then our Heavenly Father said, "My grace is sufficient" There is a law that covers this hidden thing that caused an accidental death ( not knowing)

God's love needs no interpreting. It is what it is. The most men can do by interpreting it is to defile it. And in many cases people have taken love, which should be shaped and fashioned after the one who has unconditional love, and made it perverted with lust. That is the extreme case. But another case is to say that one can think that killing someone is done out of love. So interpreting love with a wicked heart is lawlessness, and disobedience.
Many questions come with interpreting that only lead to more questions and no truth. This is true: GOD IS LOVE!! If we don't know him, we don't know Love. If we don't know Jesus, we haven't witnessed love. It was written, WHAT GREATER LOVE HAS A MAN THAN THIS, THAT HE SHOULD LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS!
Would you die for someone who killed your closest friend or sibling or parent? Would you die for a complete stranger? Would you be afraid of it? People presume much, but the answer is in the doing. It was also written that PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT ALL FEAR!!
That perfect love is seen clearly and demonstrated evidently in Jesus Christ who came in love doing what was pleasing to God, and because of the hypocrisy and interpreting the people did, they killed him. They could not even obey the law which is best obeyed in love, THE WAY GOD INTENDED!!
May Jesus bless you.

I agree with some of the other posters in that I think there's a lot of confusion between loving relationships and lustful relationships in this thread, but from looking at the ages/apparent lack of experience of some other posters, that's understandable I suppose. Some of the guys appear to even have issues with addressing women, so it is understandable too that they would not be good candidates for healthy relationships at this time in their lives. Under those circumstances I agree that it's probably best for them to continue to put it off until they mature in the Lord and other ways.
