great q. many do no longer %. up on the certainty that there are 2 kinds of love reported in this passage. easily anybody could desire to desire to strengthen in love, and that incorporates the two kinds of love reported appropriate right here. that's interesting to notice that the phileo love is relational, on an analogous time as the agapeo love is in undemanding terms unconditional, which transcends the self and prerequisites. that's as though Jesus is finding Peter, do you like me no count quantity what's happening? Peter did deny Him thrice, and that's like Jesus is showing Peter how plenty he has grown between then and this discourse or commissioning, for that's what it easily replaced into. Christ replaced into, in essence, commissioning Peter to spiritually feed people who keep on with Him in spite of the circumstances. so a tactics as we are in touch, God the Holy Spirit works in us each and each day to revamp us into the affection that God is. which skill He grows us no longer in common words in phileo love yet agapeo and agapao(suited for the area) love. it is not something we are waiting to do of ourselves, yet we are waiting to video demonstrate the alterations in ourselves using actuality the transformation unfolds.

Jesus!
The REAL Jesus
There is "another Jesus" that is not the REAL Jesus of
the Bible (2 Cor. 11:4). Salvation can only take place
only through faith in the REAL Jesus. Faith in
"another Jesus" cannot save anyone. So how can you
tell if you have the REAL Jesus?
The Jesus of the Bible...
-- is prayed to - Acts 7:55-60; Psalm 116:4
and Zech. 13:9 with 1 Cor. 1:1-2
-- is worshiped - Matt. 2:2,11; 14:33; 28:9;
John 9:35-38; Heb. 1:6
-- is called God - John 20:28; Heb. 1:8; Isa.
9:6
-- is the ONLY way to God - John 14:6; Acts
4:12
-- did not come to bring peace, but a
sword - Matt. 10:34
-- tells us to fear God - Matt. 10:28
-- tells us that the world will hate us - John
15:18-19, 17:14
-- tells us Christians can expect to suffer -
Matt. 5:45; John 16:33; Heb. 11:35-38; 1 Pet.
4:12; 1 John 3:13
-- commands us share the gospel - Matt.
28:19-20; Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8

Jesus ask that I love everyone equally so your question is without merit.
A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.
After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.
Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.
I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.
I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.
If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.
I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.
Love and blessings
Your brother

I love the Lord Jesus Christ infinitely more than them or any human being.
Only Jesus is worthy of our supreme love and only Jesus is worthy of first place in our lives.
