Love Ethics a framework for understanding love

Term: Love Ethics
Definition: A lifestyle and ethical framework clearly explained in the Bible acts as the guide to Christian maturity, sanctification, or Mature Love. These ethics include not only the four basic Biblical Love Principles evident in Godly Love, but all the elements which, taken together, describe a healthy emotional life.

Illustration: Love Ethics is a way of describing the “Royal Law” and “Law of Christ” of New Testament ethics, and we use it to clarify obtuse terms like “holiness” so easily tossed around in some Christian circles without definition. The distinction must be made between arbitrary holiness, human traditions with religious overtones, and God’s definition of Christian maturity which revolves around Godly Love.
