What is Love? Three Perspectives from John Frame

Jared Wass — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 03:00:04 +0000

I Corinthians 13:1-7 is Paul’s often quoted exhortation to and definition of love. We can be extremely articulate and knowledgeable and faith filled and sacrificial, but without love all of those things are worthless. As we look to the gospel as our source of power for love (Ro 1:16, Ro 15:25) and pray for the Holy Spirit to make this gospel sink into our hearts to be remembered and believed, it is advantageous to have a concise framework by which to aid our understanding.

Enter John Frame. In his helpful intro to systematic theology, Salvation Belongs to the Lord, he defines love as three inter-related perspectives.

Allegiance – faithfulness to a promise

Affection – emotional fondness

Action – doing good for the people we love

May the Lord be gracious to us and enable us to love those around us more more deeply.
