what is this kind of love?

Agápe (αγάπη agápē) is defined as “love". But, it’s unlike any other love. It’s an unconditional love that’s always giving and never taking. This kind of love is totally selfless and doesn’t change even if the love given is or isn’t returned. This is the original and only true form of love.

  • Agape love is seeing the answer and sharing that with whoever is seeing   or experiencing the problem.
  • Agape love is never judgmental and is eternally patient with any thing that must be learned. 
  • Agape love is totally without demands or requirements. 
  • Agape love is total truth in that it doesn’t change, no matter what changes around it. 
  • Agape love doesn’t know about time, since time doesn’t exist in heaven. 
  • Agape love is unconditional forgiveness for anything, because agape love goes beyond the idea of needing forgiveness.

God is Agápe Love! And, frankly, His love overwhelms my heart. Now, that’s a secure Love!

"The second is like it, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.'
Matthew 22:39 NAS

"This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.
John 15:12 NAS

The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
1 John 4:8 NAS
