At least three Greek words are translated "love" in the New Testament.

There's agape (ag-ah'-pay) which is love as a noun.

There's agapao (ag-ap-ah'-o) which is love as an expression.

And there's phileo (fil-eh'-o) which is love as an emotion.

Just about everybody practices agapao in one form or another. It's an impersonal kind of friendliness exemplified by things like courtesy, sympathy, kindness, tolerance, charity, generosity, and civility.

It's not required to like the people to whom we extend agapao. Even holding doors open for total strangers counts as agapao because it's more an act of the will than of the heart; for example John 3:16.

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

The love that God feels for His friends is different than John 3:16. It's phileo; for example John 16:27

"The Father Himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father."

Phileo is a personal love; it's tender, sentimental, and close to home; consisting of things like bonding, fondness and affection. God doesn't feel phileo for just anybody; only for people close to his heart.
