John 16:27
So both instances in verse 27 are the Greek phileo. Why? Why does God not love us with agape love in this particular situation? Because Jesus is describing the disciples' acceptance of Jesus through faith and obedience. showing that they preferred Him. Or that they chose Him rather than the world. He is talking about the group, the fellowship, the covenant, that they all have in common. Not only did we choose Him above the world, we chose Him above our families and our former friends and acquaintances. We showed that by our choice we phileo'd God. He was in our group. He is the one we preferred to be with, starting with Jesus Christ and of course that meant the Father as well because They are one. You love the one, you love the other.
