  9. 8) Impersonal and Unconditional Love for all of Mankind

  10. 1 Cor 13, gives us the appropriate application of AGAPE love and helps us to apply PSD #8 in the protection and recovery from betrayal.

  11. 15 Points of Application for I.U. LoveVerses 4-8

  12. This type of love is also described as empowered by God the Holy Spirit.

  13. Rom 5:5, “And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”

  14. Gal 5:22-23,“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.”

  15. 1 Cor 13:4,

  16. a) Love is patient: MAKROTHUMEO - "persevere", "to be patient", or "to be longsuffering", Luke 18:7; 1 Thes 5:14; James 5:7-11.

  17. 1 Thes 5:14,“We urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone.”

  18. Luke 18:7,“Now, will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them?”

  19. We are to be patient with or towards someone - a mental attitude of grace orientation toward others.

  20. It is an attitude of relaxation instead of trying to run others or being resentful of others. (RMA)

  21. b) Love is kind: CHRESTEUOMAI - "to be kind", "to show one’s self mild", or "use kindness”, "to show oneself useful", or "act benevolently".

  22. Luke 6:35, “But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.”

  23. It’s the overt activity of grace - to treat others in grace.

  24. It’s not treating them based on what they earn or deserve. It’s Grace Orientation, PSD #5.

  25. c) Love is not jealous: OUK ZELOO - NOT + "to be jealous", "desire earnestly", or "to burn with zeal", "eagerly seek" or "to envy". Emotional Complex of Sins.

  26. With the filling of the Spirit, the love produced in your soul is totally free from jealousy. Compare with Acts 7:9; 17:5-8; James 4:2

  27. d) Love does not brag: PERPEREUOMAI - "to boast", "brag" or "be conceited", "to parade one's self".

  28. Thayer - "A self display, employing rhetorical embellishments in extolling one’s self excessively". Compare with 1 Cor 4:7; 2 Peter 2:17; James 4:16-17.

  29. So here and in the next word the arrogance complex of sins.

  30. 1 Cor 4:7,“For who regards you as superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?”

  31. 2 Peter 2:17, “These are springs without water and mists driven by a storm, for whom the black darkness has been reserved. 18For speaking out arrogant words of vanity they entice by fleshly desires, by sensuality, those who barely escape from the ones who live in error.”

  32. James 4:16-17, “But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil. 17Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.”

  33. The filling of the Spirit neutralizes your ego. Ego lust is neutralized where "I" and "me" are not your sole means of communication.

  34. e) Love is not arrogant:PHUSIOO - its root means “nature” and “bellows”. Therefore, “to puff or blow up”, “be arrogant”, “conceited” or “inflated”.

  35. In other words, “a big wind bag” meaning a person who is full of himself.

  36. 1 Cor 8:1-3, “Now concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge makes arrogant, but love edifies. 2If anyone supposes that he knows anything, he has not yet known as he ought to know (sophomoric type of arrogant thinking); 3but if anyone loves God, he is known by Him.”

  37. This is a desire to inflate one’s self at the expense of others - spiritual “king of the hill”. Seeking to advance yourself at the expense of running down someone else.

  38. In love and the filling of the Spirit we don't seek to raise ourselves at the expense of others and let God promote us in His proper time.
