God’s kind of love
Also called agape love, this is love from the Godly perspective. True
brotherly, neighbourly and unfailing love as conceived by God. It is love
devoid of worldly desires, greed, and lust of the flesh. The unconditional
affection that transcends the limitation of race, national boundaries,
religion, colour, earthly status or attainments, and physical disposition.
Agape love is the selfless and sacrificial love exemplified by God through
the giving of His only begotten son – Jesus Christ who although sinless died
for the transgressions of mankind; thus guaranteeing our redemption. In 2
Cor. 5:21 the Bible tells us that “God made Him who had no sin to be sin for
us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.”
The world would be a better place if man could simply love his fellow man
God’s way. Our Lord Jesus christ said to His disciples, “my command is this:
love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that
he lay down his life for his friends” -Â John 15:12-13.
