How many times in life do we find ourselves in a position of just needing someone to love us? This is when we need AGAPE love because we need the caring and comforting love that only the Lord can give. Remember, He gave His life for you. What greater love is there then this?
AGAPE love means that God first loved us and we are to love God first and then to love others. It is the love from Christ that compels us to act, on Christ’s behalf to share Christ’s love to someone (II Corinthians 5:14). It is a love that never fails (I Corinthians 13:8). It is a love that made Jesus say to His disciples in John 21:7, “If you love me, feed my sheep.” In Romans 12:9-10 (above verse), Paul defines AGAPE love as being sincere and being devoted to one another in brotherly love. Sincere love is not selfish. When we have AGAPE love we will honor others above ourselves.
This AGAPE love can only be felt by one that has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. If you want to experience AGAPE love then make that decision today.
“Whoever does not love does not know God, because GOD IS LOVE. This is how God showed His love among us; He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” I John 4:8-10.
Jesus said: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment” Matthew 22: 37-38
Love must be sincere --- be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Romans 12:9-10.
nice.........

ReplyDeleteThis is so timely and in such a passionate way. My Love Ruby has overcome many adversities and challenges so in turning to God He showed her a path less traveled as she became another woman with a heart so pure and a beauty that only God of Leonardo di Vinci could create. By happenstance we met in the strangest of ways in an Instagram site and I was caught up by her words so I reached out to her and so began a love between two who have never met until now, an 18 month dialogue of learning and caring for one another. Today Ruby said to me that her love for me is an AGAPE Love a true and genuine love. I looked it up and then I found your Blogger site. Such a beautiful and thoughtful message that today has brought two people in love that God put us together, It was not easy, but I had to earn the right to Love her in more than a emotional way. She is worth every hurdle we have overcome. No One Is Perfect so I say to those who will read this, Do not let disagreements get in the way of a love both have to work to find when the foundation of your love as a couple is underpinned by God.
