Psychology and biblical teachings have always been considered opposed to each other. Regardless, there are still Christian counselors or therapists who use (or, in a sense, must use) techniques from psychological theories. The key here is to evaluate these psychological theories while using the truth of the Bible as a guide. This will help determine what may be helpful to use in certain situations and what will oppose God. Since psychology is such a broad field, a Christian counselor will need to research many varieties of these psychological theories.

The importance of loving others is necessary to the spiritual health of a Christian. “I give you a new commandment: love one another; just like I loved you, you must love one too
