VIRTUES OF A CHRISTIAN LIFE — LOVE (Agape Love)

Episode 2
Love is one of the core virtues of the Christian life, and at the center of it is Agape love — God’s kind of love.
Agape love is unconditional, sacrificial, and freely given. It does not wait for perfection, repayment, or approval. It loves because that is God’s nature.
📖 “God is love.” — 1 John 4:8
God demonstrated this love to humanity by giving His Son:
📖 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son…” — John 3:16
Jesus expressed Agape love everywhere He went. He loved His disciples despite their flaws, doubts, and failures. He healed the sick, delivered the oppressed, and showed compassion to the forgotten.
📖 “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil.” — Acts 10:38
Jesus did not love people because they deserved it — He loved them because they needed it.
📖 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8
As Christians, Agape love is not just something we admire — it is something we are called to live out daily.
📖 “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you.” — John 13:34
Living Agape love means choosing kindness, forgiveness, patience, and compassion, even when it is difficult. It is allowing Christ to be formed in us so that His love flows through us to others.
📖 “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” — John 13:35
