Agape

December 13, 2007


2 John 1:6 KJV
(6) And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.


Love and commandments, they go hand in hand. When asked what the most important command was Jesus was not slow in replying. Love God with your whole heart, and then to love others as you love yourself.

Love. What does it really mean? As noted in other devotionals, the Greek words for love are many and varied. The word for love here is agape, the highest type of love, sometimes called the God type of love.

God wants us to walk in agape to all in our lives. Even to those we do not like.

Ponder your love for others, do you walk in Agape?
