AGAPE LOVE

“He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.”‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ 1 John‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

We know without a doubt that God is love and the very thought of Him instigates love. Although there are several kinds of love mentioned in the Bible but in today’s study we want to talk about the agape love according to how it’s described in the scriptures.

Agape Love can be explained as the highest and most supreme love of all. It is the sacrificial, divine, saving , secure and satisfying love. This is the kind of love that protects and doesn’t hold back. This kind of love is willing to die for another even if the person is unworthy or undeserving. “For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life". ‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

As you go around today be conscious that this kind of Love is not just an emotion which rises in our hearts but a deliberate principle which we live by. We must be conscious and aware that this is the kind of love we must have for all men. Never consider if they are undeserving of your love or not, its your nature to love. Remember we are spirit beings and just like our Father we must follow after His perfect example.

Further Scripture Study: John 13:34-35; Romans 5:10

Declare This: Heavenly Father, just as You have loved me by giving Your Son to die for me even when it seem I was not worthy. I pray that I express genuine love to everyone I come in contact with, not being biased or prejudiced in Jesus name Amen.
