Søren Kierkegaard defined himself as the spy of Christianity, with the mission of revealing its true meaning in a world that calls itself Christian but is not. He points out social problems without neglecting the importance of interiority in Christian love, which prevent Christianity from being lived according to the Scriptures, which command us to love our neighbor as ourselves. This Christian love is a radical demand that seeks to overcome selfishness and promote authentic and healthy relationships. Kierkegaard emphasizes that Christian love must develop from the interiority of singular individuals (Enkelte) and act as a corrective in human relationships, which are deteriorated. This text presents a praxis of love that, for Kierkegaard, takes on a corrective character for broken relationships that cannot fulfill the command of the law, aiming to foster healthy relationships.
