All emotion stems from the soul realm, which is: your mind, emotions and your will. Though these emotions are also spirits: hate, disdain, envy, bitterness, jealousy, and pride manifest through the soul realm, through emotions. It is for this reason that Apostle Paul admonished believers to purify their souls, by obedience to the word of God for by so doing they would have genuine love for one another from a pure heart. โChrist loved the church and gave Himself up for her to sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing with water through the wordโ (Ephesians 5:25-26). When we allow the word of God to rebuke and convict us to repentance, our hearts will be purified. Apostle Paul finishes the verse by imploring us to โlove one another deeply, from a pure heart.โ Thus, after purifying our hearts, strive with all your might to love deeply. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 explains the Agape - โunconditional loveโ of God. This love is patient in all circumstances, kind in the face of injustice, it does not envy others, boast or show off. It is not proud, rude, neither is it selfseeking or selfish. A person who loves does not get easily angered or keep a record of others wrongs. A person who loves takes no pleasure in evil but rejoices in the truth. This love must bear all things, believe in all things, hope for all things, and finally endure all things. This kind of love indeed, never fails!
