When you hear that God is love, do you think that means God accepts everyone just as they are? This is not a Biblical view of God's love. God's love for us was self-sacrificing, and the New Testament ethic is this type of love. A study of Agape will show the reader how God loves and works in the world, the church, and in the individual's life. Agape is how God uses us and matures us as believers, and it is how we are to interact with others in our daily life.
An understanding of Agape is vital and basic to our Christian walk.
