Jeremiah Ogedegbe
Love is one word that strikes the heart and soul of man. The whole world lies in cruelty. Loving God and people seems feign. We always dream of heaven on earth which will never be possible except everyone walks in love.
We have different types of love from my point of view:
1. Perfect Love
2. Imperfect Love.
Perfect love is the Love of God which Christ came to express (John 3:16). The Love of God is also the laws of God, all God's law are perfect. In Psalms 12:6 "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times." This law is also the law of the Spirit. We are to follow this law with all of our life. The whole book of Psalm chapter 119 is dedicated to the perfect love (Loving God's Law).
Imperfect Love is any other laws apart from God's Law, like Governmental laws, public laws, corporate laws, traditions and doctrines etc. We are not to follow this with all our life, because they are set by humans who are fallible. Humans are imperfect, changing today, tommorrow and forever, only God remains constant with who He is. That's why He told Moses when Moses asked of His name, He said His name is ' I AM WHO I AM ', which in Hebrew is YAHWEH. Yahweh does not change His laws because before He gave His laws He purifies it seven times in the fire of His Spirit. Jesus said in Matthew 5:17-18, "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
Also in Matthew 10:37: "He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me."
Lust
Lust is a relationship or a behaviour that is out of law. A law breaking mentality. A union or afair that's against God's law. A curiousity to trepass God's law. You can find out my definition of Law on the The Law and the Prophets.
It is common that when we trepass laws our conscience which is our soul judges us as wrong, because our soul which is also our inner man wants life and peace therefore wants to keep the law of God. But the spirit inside a person drives a person through his senses and desires the negative part of life. One can be led by many different kinds of spirit. One can be led by the spirit of anger, the spirit of whoredom, the spirit death, spirit of heaviness and depression etc. Those spirits are spirits that are of the world and not of God. The HolySpirit will lead you from the Word of God.
Have a nice time!
