Define the Antonym of Love

Some food for thought from the sermon today... From a Biblical perspective, what is the opposite of true love?

  • Good answers. The sermon was on the verse in 1 John 4:18 “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”

    I had never really thought of fear as being diametrically opposed to love; I always saw it on the far side of the spectrum when looking at Faith, but when you boil it down, if you fear God, your life proves that you don't trust in his Love for you... That was among some of my favorite verses, but I had never quite looked at it like that.
