Abstract
Different approaches to defining the essence and content of the concepts of “love”, “joy” and “fear”, their interaction in terms of teaching are analyzed in the article. It is emphasized that the main thing in love is its spiritualization. Only the spirit, the spiritual power, reveals to a man the true, worthy object of love. Love is creativity, openness of the human soul, it is an organic, aesthetic need of a man. This approach is especially important in the system of relations “teacher – student; teacher – student”. It is proved that the teacher's love for the student must be effective, it is based on trust, mutual assistance, without love pedagogical activity loses its value. An important manifestation of love is the joy of common achievements. Love and joy are related concepts. Joyful hobbies that guide cognition, enter the noosphere of a man, contribute to mental and spiritual growth. Instead, the category of “fear” is defined as an emotion that arises in a situation of threat to the biological or social existence of the individual and is aimed at the source of real or imagined danger. In the article, the concept of “fear” is considered on a Christian basis, and therefore, analyzed as the fear of God and human fear. The need to train specialists in the field of professional and pedagogical activities in the context of solving the outlined problems is emphasized.

Summary
Productive professional activity of a teacher is inconceivable without love, which in its manifestation brings him great emotional satisfaction, elation, and joy. The concept of "love" is quite broad. It is filled with different meanings, because the objects and subjects of love can be parents and children, students and teachers, artists and their works, natural phenomena, and and different things. With all the different approaches to the analysis of the object of love, its unconditional spiritualization is unambiguous. The object of the love of the Master, Jesus Christ, was all mankind, and He undoubtedly gave His life for us, for the human race. True love is the connection of the spirit and soul of one person with another On this occasion, Hryhoriy Skovoroda wrote in a letter to his favorite student, Mykhailo Kovalinsky: “Good love is one that is true, strong and eternal. Strong and eternal love arises from the kinship of eternal souls, which are strengthened by their virtue and are not chewed. Because as long as you respect virtue, love grows, just as a tree grows imperceptibly over the years and becomes stronger than death” [6, p. 158]
