What Is Love? | Born-Again-Christian.Org

Countless wise men, poets, and philosophers have lived and died without ever finding out what love is. Here’s the key.

Three Wise Monkeys? : See no love, feel no love, hear no love

Scientists are completely stumped by the most important human trait of all, so they simply discount it. For modern science, love, like God, ‘doesn’t exist’.

Before I was saved I studied Zoology under Sir John Krebs. His father, Hans Krebs, was awarded the Nobel Prize for discovering the citric acid, or Krebs Cycle. A basic biochemical pathway of energy production common to all living cells.

Sir John is an Oxford University Neo-Darwinian behaviourist, (since 2007 he’s sat in the UK House of Lords as Lord Krebs, and also chairs the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee).

Lord Krebs is a close chum of the notorious atheist, Richard Dawkins (‘The Selfish Gene’ and ‘The God Delusion’).

As Krebs’ student, it was fascinating to follow his convoluted humanist attempts to explain the ‘evolutionary benefit of altruism‘.

You could almost feel his pain at being confronted with a human characteristic that goes completely against the grain of his Darwinian evolutionary faith.

That is the closest respectable science dares venture towards discussing love.

You can see why can’t you?

Philosophers wanted urgently

Philosophers are less timid, but frequently go bonkers trying to explain away the purpose and existence of love.

They spend their lives navel-gazing, before finally committing suicide.

I really would not recommend philosophy as a career option. The same goes for psychiatry too.

How shall I love thee?

Poets dive in head first. What they call ‘love’ is their bread and butter. But, almost without exception, they confuse love with romance, and so fall into a fatal snare.

Romance and love are incompatible. You’ll find more about .

If you are reduced to tears by romantic godless poets such as Shelley, Byron, and Keats, or swoon at sentimental prose, just wait until you discover love. It will change your whole life… as well as your reading habits.

Why Love?

If you are not sure what love is, I encourage you to find out today. It isn’t difficult when you know where to look.

I found it in the Holy Bible by reading John’s Gospel with an open heart.

The first thing you notice about love, real love, is that it is completely unreasonable.

This is what floors the scientist. It did me.

Science demands,

‘There has to be a reason for it, and it must have some benefit to the individual’s survival.’

Love tramples on this logic with size 12 Doc Marten boots.

Love needs no reason whatsoever. Love just loves to love for the sake of it.

And as for ‘benefit to an individual’s survival’; the definitive example of love willingly died without heirs or descendants in the supreme act of love.

The key to your heart

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us:

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

1 Jn. 3:16a, Ro. 5:8 KJV

That is what love is.

God in the Flesh coming from Heaven to lay down His sinless life for His worst enemies. In order to redeem them and provide a way back into His Arms.

‘I’ll never disown you Lord’

Peter spent three years living side by side with the Man who was God.

The Galilean fisherman was utterly devoted to Christ. He pledged eternal commitment to Him, and really meant it. But that same night Peter emphatically denied being a disciple of Jesus three times.

The Messiah had warned him he would do this.

Mortal fear made Peter into a liar in the Presence of God.

Peter disowned The One who plucked him from drowning in Galilee’s Sea of doubt, and from the teeth of Hell. Lk. 22:60-62 KJV;

And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

God’s best friend on Earth denied knowing Him, in His moment of greatest need, but Jesus did not condemn or rebuke Peter, He merely looked at Him.

When their eyes met, Peter saw nothing but outrageous unreasonable, Perfect Love.
