Notes
1. What is "Agape" Love? Agape Love is the Love that gives to others with no regard to the consequences to itself. 2. God is Love. 1 John 4:8 8 He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love. 3. Loving one another is the greatest witness of our following Jesus. John 13:34-35 34 I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another. 35 By this shall all [men] know that you are My disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among yourselves]. 4. The definition of Love worked out practically 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 4 Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. 5 It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way,for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]. 6 It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. 7 Love bears up under anything andeverything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. 8 Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end] 5. The assignment of the enemy is to remove Love from our hearts. Matthew 24:12 12 And the love of the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity.
