What Is Love? Exposing the True Love of God

What Is Love? is a transformational 12-part series from The Rooted and Growing Christian's perspectives that uncovers what love truly is according to God’s design.

The journey begins by dismantling the world’s misconceptions of love — from emotional highs to self-focused “love yourself” culture — and rebuilding a biblical understanding centered on the truth that love is not a feeling but a daily choice.

Each post explores one of the seven Greek types of love, highlighting the four core biblical loves (Agape, Philia, Storge, Eros) and how the three extended Greek loves (Ludus, Pragma, Philautia) reveal additional facets of God’s heart when viewed through a biblical lens.

From unconditional agape to enduring pragma, the series walks through how love looks in friendships, families, marriages, and even toward ourselves. It concludes with practical applications on choosing love daily, setting boundaries, loving when it feels impossible, and understanding the true cost of love.

Through relatable metaphors, Scripture, and honest reflection, What Is Love? calls believers to live out real love — not as the world defines it, but as Christ demonstrated it.
