In the book The Language of Love author Gray Samlley presents five ways of language (five languages) to express love to your mate, which are having high-quality time together, using encouraging words, showing acts of service, giving gifts, and using physical touch. To maintain a strong and intimate relationship with your spouse, demonstrating love and making your spouse aware of how he or she is love are significant.

However, a person’s love sometime doesn’t get across to another. One reason may be that the person who has been shown love does not feel he or she is being loved. For instance, in John 21:15-17, Jesus asked Peter whether he loved him in three consecutive times. Peter thought he loved Jesus, but the Lord wanted him to confirm his love. The third time Peter was grieved because Jesus asked him three times. Another reason is that love must be spoken out and explained. As Christians share with their non-Christian families and friends the love of Christ, they need to point out from the Bible how God loves him so that he has sent his only Son Jesus to die for them (John 3:16). God’s love is explainable and must be explained.

As Christians, do we truly love Jesus? Does Jesus know we love him? Does Jesus feel he is being loved by us? And do people know God love them? We have to keep those questions in mind as soon as we become Christians.
