Real Love!

The Greek word AGAPE means “love".

How is "Agape Love" different from other types of love you may ask?
Agape love is unselfish love in its purest form!
It is not friendly or brotherly love nor is it romantic or sexual love.
Agape love is Unique, Unconditional and is distinguished by its nature and character, which is the full embodiment of God!
1st Corinthians 13:4-8 tells us what love is and what love is not.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always preserves. Love never fails.
However, Agape love is the kind of love that God extends to us:
It's that kind of love that I feel we could never truly grasp!

Romans 5:8 states, "But God commanded his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."



God who is all knowing, knew exactly how sinful and undeserving we are, yet He was still willing to send His Only his son into the world to die so that we may have access to the abundant life he has for us.
This my friend is the real Love; un-selfish Love -that AGAPE Love!
There is nothing you can do to cause God to love you any more than He already does—and there is nothing that will cause God to love you any less.

God's Love is unconditional at ALL times!


It‘s not dependent upon anything we say or do and is not based simply on your intellectual ability, your talents, or your performance.
It's not like human love; I love you if you love me back, or I used to love but...
It’s the kind of love where He loves you simply because of who you are!
The kind of love that when we abandon His word and teachings and fall in our sin he doesn’t hold it against us as men do; but he forgives you and then loves you even more!
The kind of love that is warm, tender, comforting, understanding, forgiving, un-reserved that is all inclusive for you.
And most of all a love that does not judge!
As believers and as children of God we are to mimic the characteristics of our maker who is Love itself.
We are to love others sacrificially, not on our feelings, but we must be have the tenacity to put the wellbeing of others before ourselves.



In doing this we are truly tapping into the source of that love, that Agape love of God and embodying the nature and expression of His being which has been poured into our hearts when we became His children.



Tap into the source and get connected to God so you can embrace, embody and saturate everyone that you encounter with that never-ending, never changing, un-limited God inspired Agape - Love!
