Phileo Love
Phileo love is when a friend loves a friend and there is no
associated romantic feeling between the two parties. Sometimes, it is referred
to as brotherly love. Phileo love means reciprocal sharing of time, activities,
the home, hobbies, games, and other objects of common fellowship. It is
delighting to be in the presence of another, a warm feeling that comes and goes
with intensity. The Bible encourages it but it is never a direct command. God
never commands phileo since this type of love is based on feelings. This type
of love is an important part of marriage and enriches it but it alone cannot
sustain it.
Rom 12:9-13 Love must be completely sincere. Hate what is evil,
hold on to what is good. Love one
another warmly as Christians, and be eager to show respect for one
another. Work hard and do not be lazy.
Serve the Lord with a heart full of devotion. Let your hope keep you joyful, be patient in
your troubles, and pray at all times. Share your belongings with your needy
fellow Christians, and open your homes to strangers.
Up next Agape love
