The opposite of love is..., 4.28.2024

Peter W. Marty preaches on love. Perfect love casts out fear. What is perfect love? We probably accumulate more failures in the love department than in other areas of our lives. We make a lot of mistakes. We practice love very undependably and imperfectly. What does perfect love look like and can we ever know it? God is love and there is no way to know this God without loving other people. We can talk about God but we cannot know God or enjoy God without love. If the opposite of love is not hatred, then what is it?
