There is a difference between loving someone as man does, and loving someone as God does. It is good to like others, but we are instructed in scripture to dig deeper than that; we are told to love. To meet others, especially others of faith, and simply like them, or to go through the motions as if we love them is far from where we should be spiritually. Liking is a superficial emotion, that can be based on nothing more than having similar interests, or enjoying the same things, but love comes from the heart, and soul. Love is of God, and is God.
