Even though the requirement to love God, who is unseen, is one of the most well-known concepts in Christian theology, there are not many commentators who really explored the idea of loving something which cannot be seen. Can we love God who is invisible? On a simple plane one can understand the commandment to love ones neighbour, since at least one can see this neighbour or observe him or her (even though as we have observed above our enemy or neighbour is often “unseen”). How can a person love something which he has not seen? The central idea of the article is that the Love cannot be limited to one point or aspect but is a feature of movement it is dynamic. This dynamic nature of love implies that it cannot dwell on one feature or substance or image or aspect.
