Agape love is what Jesus Christ displayed on the cross for us as he took our place for the sin.Agape love is a love of choice, not out of attraction or obligation.
Agape is a Greek word pronounced ah-gah-pay."Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." ( John 15:13)
This love saves and restores humanity in the face of sin and death. It is the love of God that we see through the cross of Jesus Christ. Agape LoveĪgape love is a sacrificial love that unites and heals. This differentiation can be helpful for us to think about what love means, especially in discussing the highest form of love, agape love. Agape love is beautifully described in 1 Corinthians 13. It is the highest, most pure form of love as a choice, not out of attraction or obligation. "Agape love” differs from other types of love in the Bible.
Even though the various Greek words for love are all translated into the same English word in most instances, they held different meanings for Greek-speaking readers. However, the Greek language used in the Bible does make those distinctions. However, English doesn’t lend itself well to making these distinctions. We say, “I love chocolate” and “I love you.” Our love for a significant other, a favorite food, and a friend are all different (hopefully). We often use the word love in different contexts and meanings.
